Prof. Ram Vikash

Teaching Assistant

Mr. Ram Vikash is currently serving as a Teaching Assistant in the School of Engineering at Dayananda Sagar University, Bengaluru. He is pursuing an M.Tech by Research in Intelligent Systems at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, under the HTRA Scholarship.

His research focuses on deep learning and medical image analysis, with particular emphasis on prostate cancer lesion segmentation using multi-parametric and single-modality MRI. His work explores advanced semantic segmentation architectures, edge-aware spatial attention mechanisms, and techniques for robust cross-dataset generalization across clinically heterogeneous imaging environments. One of his research contributions has been accepted at the 10th International Conference on Computer Vision & Image Processing (CVIP 2025).

His broader research interests include generative AI and diffusion models, large language models (LLMs), agentic AI systems, cross-modal learning, and transformer-based architectures. He has hands-on experience developing GAN- and diffusion-based frameworks for CT scan reconstruction and enhancement, as well as multimodal alignment modules using cross-attention mechanisms. Prior to joining IIT Mandi, he pursued an M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at IIIT Bhagalpur before transitioning to IIT Mandi for research-focused postgraduate study. He also brings over 2.5 years of industry experience at Gupta Power Infrastructure Limited, Bhubaneswar, following his B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from BPUT University, Odisha.

His academic vision is to develop robust, interpretable, and generalizable AI frameworks that bridge rigorous research with meaningful real-world clinical and industrial impact.
