Vishal Nedungadi

I am Vishal Nedungadi, currently a PhD student at Wageningen University and Research, where I am supervised by Ioannis N. Athanasiadis and Marc Rußwurm. Prior to this I was working in several research labs as follows:

• Research Associate at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence at Abu Dhabi, supervised by Dr. Salman Khan in the domain of weather and climate forecasting.
• Visiting Researcher at the Pioneer Center For AI at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, supervised by Nico Lang and Serge Belongie in representation learning for earth observation data.
• Researcher at KTH, Sweden, supervised by Yifang Ban in Wildfire monitoring.

Before these research visits, I completed my Master’s degree (July 2023) in Machine Learning from KTH, Stockholm, Sweden.

My research interests encompass Deep Learning and Computer Vision, with a recent focus on practical Machine Learning applications (environmentally focused), particularly in Remote Sensing and what I like to call eco-conscious AI. My current research has led me to have a specific interest in multi-modal learning and representation learning. I am currently trying to understand more about embeddings and what they can do.

Feel free to reach out to me for potential research collaborations.
