Progressive Knowledge Distillation Framework for Military Vehicle Classification on Edge Devices
A ResNet-18 student beats its ResNet-50 teacher at 89.38% accuracy, and the 1.6 MB TFLite model runs on Android in 100-300 ms.
AI researcher and builder. I train vision and signal models, then ship them on firmware, phones and the web.
An accepted IEEE paper, a Top 5 poster and two studies under way. Full record on ORCID.
A ResNet-18 student beats its ResNet-50 teacher at 89.38% accuracy, and the 1.6 MB TFLite model runs on Android in 100-300 ms.
99.89% across 17 RC drone controllers with one SNR-agnostic model (prior best 95.62%), in a 0.59 MB INT8 model at about 2 ms per CPU inference. It also re-evaluates the DroneRF dataset for train/test leakage.
Top 5 Best Poster. SLIC-superpixel post-processing on a fine-tuned Swin-UNet lifts tumour precision from 0.875 to 0.982 on LiTS (131 CT volumes), with liver Dice 0.86. Benchmarked against SAM2, MedSAM, MobileSAM and PicoSAM.
A depth-estimation pipeline (MiDaS, Depth Anything V2) that turns ordinary video into side-by-side 3D for passive displays, optimised with TensorRT for a 6 GB laptop GPU.

I'm a B.Tech CSE student at Techno India University, Kolkata (2024-2028). Most of my work starts as a model and ends as something people can hold: a collar, a phone app, a web service. I write the firmware, the app, the backend and the model myself, and I co-founded CURAA and Curawave LLP along the way.
