Research Interests

My primary research focus is on Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques for pattern recognition and intelligent data analysis. I work extensively on deep learning–based handwritten text recognition, multimedia security, and video watermarking for copyright protection and authentication.

I have also guided research in protein subcellular localization using hybrid deep learning models, highlighting my interest in AI-driven bioinformatics and medical data analysis. My research extends to computer vision, video analytics, and fog/edge computing–based intelligent systems. I actively interested in machine learning–centric research with real-world applications across multimedia, documents, and biological data.
