Divya Appapogu
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Boston University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Vijaya Kolachalama. I am also grateful to have previously worked with Dr. Bryan Plummer and Dr. Kate Saenko. My research focuses on computer vision and multimodal AI, particularly at the intersection of language and vision, to address challenges such as detecting fake media. I am also interested in applying computer vision, multimodal AI to solve problems in the medical domain.
Prior to my graduate studies, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Engineering Science from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad in India.
