I am an assistant professor in Computer science and Engineeing department at
Kathmandu University, and also affiliated to the
Jeonbuk National University, and
Guru technology research group in Nepal. I have a good experience of
deep learning and machine learning technologies for image, audio, music, video and text processing using supervised
and unsupervised classification, multi-level classification, self-supervised learning, meta-learning, incremental learning
and generative networks (GAN, VAE), which are some of my major interest areas.
My current project consists of applying deep learning methods in the field of animal sound behavior analysis,
music information retrieval, music video emotion analysis, music source separation, visual object detection,
music melody and rhythm pattern recognition, music rhythm segmentation and transcription, cross-cultural music
video emotion analysis and multi-dimensional information processing (multi-label, multi-task and multi-modal for
audio, video and text data), with the aim of devising quantitative measures in affective computing, object
detection and event localization. In the visual and remote sensing domain, we are working on pine wilt disease
detection and strawberry disease detection. We proposed more than 10 datasets in audio and visual domain to
train the deep neural network and made public to support new researchers.
I was a
Global Korea Scholarship scholar sponsored by the Korean Government from 2016 to 2020. Under the scholarship,
I received Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Jeonbuk National University, South Korea. I was awarded by
Excellent Research Award 2021
by Jeonbuk National University. My thesis work includes music video affective computing with supervised and unsupervised technology.
Prior to embarking on the insanity of the doctoral studies, I received an ME in Computer Engineering from the
Pokhara University, Nepal.
In my master thesis work, I worked on data communication and information processing using multiple antenna technology. I was a student listed
on Dean’s List award by Pokhara University in 2014. A few years before, I received a BE in Computer Engineering from Pokhara University,
with a thesis investigating home security system using microcontroller and sensor technology.
