Under Prof. Pradipta Biswas (Ph.D. Cambridge)
- Developed and validated a gaze estimation mapping module, achieving 95% mAP accuracy in predicting user intent in complex robotic pick-and-place tasks.
- Partnered with Collins Aerospace to develop a mixed reality-based assembly system using custom-trained object detection models with tailored eye gaze and hand tracking.
- Conducted a comprehensive study comparing GAN models for generating realistic synthetic datasets (Simulation-to-Real) achieving FID scores of 0.001, 50.574, and 63.000 across three datasets.
- Developed a robust motion tracking framework with a markerless ByteTrack model, achieving 97.8% mAP detection accuracy in dynamic environments.
- Optimized the I2D-Net Eye Gaze Estimation model, reducing parameters by 0.5x and achieving 2x inference speed.
- Collaborated with Faurecia to extend interactive automotive heads-up display features with gaze-based vs gesture-based on-road distraction detection.
- Published 5 research papers at prestigious conferences like ICRA, IUI and Journals like JMUI.
