Biography:
Vivek Sivaraman Narayanaswamy received his bachelor’s degree in electronics and communication engineering from S.S.N College of Engineering, Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India, in 2017. He is currently a Ph.D. student in the school of electrical, computer and energy engineering at ASU, Tempe, AZ. He has interned with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLC) during the summers of both 2019, 2020 and 2021 where he worked upon developing solutions for inverse problems, explainable AI and surrogate model design respectively. He also interned with Qualcomm R&D during the summer of 2018. His research interests include applications of machine learning for signal processing applications. In particular, he works in using machine leaning for speech and audio applications, inverse problems, and explainable AI, uncertainty quantification and anomaly detection. As a part of his research assistantship, he also developed machine learning tools that can be utilized for solar array monitoring and sensor calibration.
