About Me

Hi, visitor! My name is Arkanath, I also go by Arka or Ark. I work in Machine Learning, and my current research interests lie in representation learning, generative modeling, computer vision and multimodal learning. I am a PhD student at UC Irvine, where I'm grateful to be working with Prof. Alex Berg. Previously, I worked at Google for ~9 years, where I led several ML projects in both research and product teams. You can see my publications and my LinkedIn profile if you'd like to know more about my experience in the field.

I live in Irvine (Orange County). Previously I've lived in New York City, San Francisco Bay Area and Sydney. I grew up in Noida (UP, India) and attended IIT Kharagpur for my undergraduate study.

My hobbies include photography, music, movies, tennis, pool/snooker and attending theater or live shows.
