Sai Manohar Vemuri

Research Assistant @Illinois Institute Of Technology

Chicago, IL, US

Conducting research in HW/SW co-design for deep learning on edge devices, focusing on object detection, semantic segmentation, and multi-modal perception for autonomous driving and ADAS. Specializing in 3D point cloud processing, LiDAR-camera fusion, and real-time edge deployment.Employing Neural Architecture Search (NAS), quantization-aware training, knowledge distillation, and structured pruning to optimize models for low-latency, low-power inference. The research emphasizes co-optimization of deep learning models and hardware accelerators, utilizing High-Level Synthesis (HLS) to design custom architectures tailored to specific edge chips, followed by RTL-level refinement for performance and energy efficiency.Additionally, developing custom accelerators and leveraging GAN-based synthetic data generation to enhance robustness and generalization in data-scarce environments.
