Nitin Khanna

Prof Nitin Khanna is an Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar since July 2015. His research interests include image and video processing in general and multimedia security – sensor forensics, signal processing for healthcare, and low complexity image processing, in particular. He received the Bachelor of Technology degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India, and Ph. D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. Before joining IIT Gandhinagar, he worked as a Post-doctoral Research Associate in Video and Image Processing Laboratory at School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN.

He has worked on designing low complexity imaging methods for using mobile device for acquiring, processing and delivering multimedia content and use of machine learning techniques for smart health and wellbeing applications. His work is published in reputed journals including IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security and IEEE Signal Processing Magazine. He has active collaboration with researchers at Purdue University on research problems related to healthcare. In healthcare domain, his main interest lies in designing algorithms for signal processing related to life style pattern estimation (dietary patterns) and in application of image processing techniques for early detection and for increasing the level of automation and decreasing subjectivity in diagnostic techniques.
