About

I am Junior research fellow and PhD research scholar in disruptive technologies lab in the department of computer science and information systems at BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus under the supervision of Prof. Shashank Gupta. My research interests centrally focusses on the interdisciplinary aspects of computer vision in vehicle-bridge interaction modelling for indirect structural damage assessment of long-span bridges. My work addresses vital interdisciplinary research problem by integrating artificial intelligence, digital twin modelling, vehicle-bridge interaction, and development of  adaptive controller systems. The research has strong relevance to intelligent infrastructure systems and AI-assisted decision support for safety-critical environments.
