What am I doing now?
At the moment, I'm working as a Research Assistant Intern at the Louisville Automation & Robotics Research Institute, where I design and implement computer vision pipelines for drone-based perception and localization. I'm also working with Dr.Bego on generative AI research, where I co-authored papers including "Expertise and Trust in GenAI". I am also working with Dr.Baidya on Computer Vision algorithms, mainly for the use on drones.
