Mainak Singha

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) and ELLIS Ph.D. Fellow in the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) at University of Trento, Italy under the supervision of Prof. Elisa Ricci. I am part of the Doctoral Network on Embedded AI Systems and Applications (ANT) under the Marie-Curie Project. I am co-supervised by Prof. Paolo Casari (University of Trento), Prof. Jie Yang (TU Delft) and Dr. Frans Widdershoven (NXP Semiconductors, Netherlands)

Previously, I was an AI Research Scientist at Tokyo Research Center (TRC) of Aisin Corporation, in Tokyo, Japan. I received my Masters degree from IIT Bombay, where my research was advised by Prof. Biplab Banerjee.

My research interest is in Efficient Machine Learning for Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) integrating the bridge between Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing for resource-constraint devices.
