Amitangshu Mukherjee

Amitangshu received his B. Tech in Applied Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology in 2016. He graduated from Iowa State University, USA with a Master’s in Computer Engineering in Fall 2019 where he worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Self-Aware Complex Systems Lab and DICE Lab (now moved to New York University) from Fall 2018 to Spring 2020. His primary research work revolved around topics in Deep Learning such as Domain Adaptation and Adversarial Machine Learning and he published his research works in conferences such as ICCV 2019 (main conference), CVPR and Neurips (Workshops). His M.S thesis project focused on GAN based Data Augmentation techniques for improving performances of Deep Networks in Perception based tasks for Autonomous Driving. In Summer 2020, he joined Purdue University’s ECE department to pursue his PhD degree under the guidance of Prof. Kaushik Roy at the Center for Brain-Inspired Computing (C-BRIC). His primary research interests will focus on designing Neuro-inspired Algorithms for Explainable and Robust Learning in Autonomous Systems.
