Short biography
I am a Master's student in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at University of Waterloo. I am currently working on 'SAR sea ice image ice and open water classification' under the supervision of Prof. David Clausi.
I have received my previous Master's and Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). I was enrolled in the 5 year integrated Dual Degree course with specialisation in Communication and Signal Processing. During my Master's at IIT Bombay I worked on video compression and developed aperceptually lossless model for video coding using foveation and just noticeable distortion.
