IEEE & ACL Student Member

Welcome! 👋✨ I am a Ph.D. candidate in Speech & Audio Signal Processing at Dhirubhai Ambani University (DAU, formerly DA-IICT), Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India 🇮🇳, working under the mentorship of Prof. (Dr.) Hemant A. Patil.

My research and passion lie in the realm of Speech & Audio Signal Processing 🎧—specifically developing state-of-the-art Deep Learning Speech Synthesis (Text-to-Speech / Vocoders) 🗣️, Voice Conversion 🔄, Speaker Diarization 👥, and Audio Deepfake Detection 🛡️ to break language barriers for low-resource and Indic languages! 🚀🌐

सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ
ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि

“जय-पराजय, लाभ-हानि और सुख-दुःख को समान करके फिर युद्ध में लग जा।
इस प्रकार युद्ध करने से तू पाप को प्राप्त नहीं होगा।”

— Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Adhyay 2, Verse 38
