Naveen George

I am a final-year Master’s student in the Department of Artificial Intelligence, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, where I have the privilege of being supervised by Dr. Konda Reddy Mopuri. I am currently a Research Scientist intern at Sony AI, Tokyo in Deep Generative Modeling team, working with Naoki Murata and Yuhta Takida.

My research interests are in Deep Generative Models and Computer Vision, with a current focus on Machine Unlearning in Diffusion Models. I am fascinated by how these model learn, interpret and synthesize multimodal inputs such as images, videos and text, and how we can guide them towards safer, more explainable, and trustworthy behavior.

Outside research, I love playing squash and football, and I am a passionate supporter of FC Barcelona💙❤️.
