Nishanth Shetty

Hi. I am Nishanth. I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, under the supervision of Prof. Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula. The focus of my PhD is understanding sampling from high dimensional distributions in the context of deep generative modelling, in particular, score-based generative models, diffusion models and generative adversarial networks. I’m currently exploring score-matching and its variants with a focus on image generation. On the applied side, I am interested in the potential of using generative models as priors to solve inverse problems in computational imaging. My PhD is graciously funded by the Prime Ministers’ Research Fellowship (PMRF) and Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship 2023, 2024.

Previously, I completed my Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering from PES University, Bangalore.
