I am Amandeep Kaur (Reehal), a PhD student at ASU, advised by Dr. Hannah Kerner. Currently, i’m interested in studying the impacts of data distribution of large volumes of pretraining data used in Foundational models, specifically GeoFoundational models.
Previously, as part of Google Deepmind, I was working on AMED(Agricultural Monitoring and Event Detection), creating ML/DL models to generate pan-India crop covers for top-10 Indian crops using Sentinel1-2, under the guidance of Alok Talekar and Dr. Gaurav Aggarwal.
Before Google, I was at IIIT-D, pursuing my Bachelor’s in CSE where I first got into research. I had the pleasure of working with Dr Rahul Purandare in the summer of my 2nd year. Then under the guidance of Dr. Jainendra Shukla, I did an independent project where I created a system to collect audio speech samples from Indian students for our project on improving English pronunciation of Indian students. As part of my Bachelor’s Thesis, I worked on improving a head gesture guided typing system for people with limited body motion, under the supervision of Dr. Rajiv Ratn Shah.
