Vrushank Ahire

I'm a senior CS undergrad at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar, advised by Dr. Mudasir Ganaie. My research focuses on multimodal AI, with a particular emphasis on speech and vision, as well as ML optimization. I've gained research experience through internships at NTU-Singapore, Peking University, and Monash University. My work has been published in top conferences and journals, including CVPR, IJCNN, HiPC, Neural Networks and Pattern Recognition. I am also a recipient of the Hyundai Hope Scholarship.
