About Me

Hi, I am K Naveen Kumar, currently a PhD Research Scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, India. My research area includes adversarial federated learning for Autonomous Vehicle Technology. Previously an MTech Research Assistant at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Telangana, India. I have done my BTech from the Indian Institute of Information Technology Vadodara, Gujarat India. ...I am fueled by my passion for machine learning/deep learning and cloud computing to solve real-world problems. I am also interested in Deployable AI making final deployable solutions in solving problems. I, along with a team of 4, stood as top 10 finalists in Nvidia AI Hackathon 2019 where we worked on the topic Audio alert system for visually impaired using segmented pixel data. I have also been selected in the IITH-Ritsumeikan University Japan Project-based Learning program under Sakura Science Exchange 2019 wherein I got an opportunity to visit Japan work with Japanese students. My research interest has led me to submit a conference paper to IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing for Emerging Markets 2018 (acceptance rate is less than 10% for conference papers) for a work which is done as part of my 3rd-year B.Tech summer project. The paper has been accepted and won the best paper award in 2018. I am practicing and doing realistic portrait art for 2 years now which led me to start a commission work-based business called Sketch-IFY. I aspire to excel in the area of academic research along with becoming an Entrepreneur. We can discuss more on Linkedin

Research Interests

1. Federated learning for scene perception and path planning in Autonomous Vehicle Technology
2. Adversarial Federated Learning for Autonomous Vehicles
3. Deployable AI
4. Resource Management - Heterogeneous Cloud Computing
