Vishal Purohit

Hi! I am a 4^th year Ph.D. student in the ECE program at Purdue University, where I work with Prof. Qiang Qiu. My research focuses on advancing utility of foundational models for inverse problems, controlled generation and video understanding.

During my Ph.D. I have interned at Samsung Research America (MPI lab) and AMD Artificial Intelligence Group.

Previously, I worked as a research intern at Visual Computing and Analytics Lab (VCAL), Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) for an year, where I contributed to projects in meta-learning and federated learning under the guidance of Prof. Sanjay Kumar Singh. Before pursuing academia, I was an engineer in the Medical Electronics division at Tata Elxsi for 2 years, where I developed software and hardware solutions for medical devices, gaining practical experience in designing systems for critical applications.
