Hi, I'm Utsab.
I engineer & research the future.

I'm an electronics & information engineer specializing in computer vision, deep learning, and embedded systems. I build instruments that think — from U-Net segmentation to magnetic-resonance power transfer.

A brief, honest portrait.

Narrative / 01

I am a BEI passout from IOE Thapathali Campus, building a practice around the idea that rigorous engineering can feel editorial. My work ranges from U-Net brain-tumor segmentation to magnetic-resonance wireless power transfer.

I am an engineer who identifies the need, solves the problem and experiments until it works. I have a genuine love for hardware — oscilloscopes, coils, PCBs — and I am deeply interested in research and mathematics. If it can be measured, modelled or optimised, I want to be the one doing it.

The circuit bench.

Interactive / 03

I drew this rig on paper — V1, SW1, 470 Ω, 100 mH, 47 µF, D1 — photographed it, and taught the site to read it. Press test my work: Otsu thresholding, component detection, wire tracing, a clean vector redraw — and the sketch finally deploys as a live instrument you can drive.
