Aishwarya Agarwal
Research Associate, Adobe | PhD (Part-time), IIIT Hyderabad
I’m a Research Associate at Adobe Research India, and a part-time PhD student at CVIT, IIIT Hyderabad. I'm advised by Dr. Vineet Gandhi and co-advised by Dr. Srikrishna Karanam.
My research focuses on Representation Learning in low-resource settings, Explainable Computer Vision, and customizing Diffusion Models (e.g., Stable Diffusion) for creative tasks like text-to-image generation.
I hold a Dual Degree (BTech + MTech) from IIT Bombay in Electrical Engineering and AI & Data Science. I previously interned at Adobe, working on multimodal understanding and scene enrichment.
