BIO
Dipak presently serves as a data scientist within the CeADAR - Ireland's National Centre for applied AI at the UCD. Prior to CeADAR, he worked as a senior researcher within the Natural Computing Research and Application Group (NCRA). His involvement was in the GUARD project, where he contributed to research concerning the detection and classification of marine vessels. Additionally, Dipak was actively engaged in sensor fusion research encompassing various elements such as vision, Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), and drone telemetry. This collective research aimed at identify irregularities in the trajectory of marine vessels, which were then visualised through an interactive dashboard. Together with the project, he was concurrently exploring the field of network architecture search using grammatical evolution, with a focus on evolving network architectures for machine vision problems.
Before joining UCD, Dipak garnered five years of experience at the Autonomous Control System Laboratory (ACSL) Ltd. in Tokyo. In his capacity as a senior R&D Engineer (AI Lead) within ACSL's Machine Intelligence Team, he dedicated his expertise to advancing machine vision algorithms. These algorithms find practical application in real-time navigation assistance for drones manufactured by the company. Some of those work involves, a safe landing location prediction system (patented by ACSL Ltd), autonomous navigation using object tracking (applied in track inspection, pipe inspection, server room inspection), application on autonomous windmill inspection and, indoor hazard inspection as a support for autonomous navigation.
