Biography

Arunava Chakravarty is currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Dhirubhai Ambani University (formerly DA-IICT), Gandhinagar, India.

Prior to joining DAU, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Ophthalmic Image Analysis (OPTIMA) Lab, Medical University of Vienna, Austria, under Prof. Hrovoje Bogunović. His work focused on developing deep learning frameworks for self-supervised learning over longitudinal medical data and survival analysis to model disease progression in retinal OCT, with a particular emphasis on Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

During 2019–2020, he served as a Postdoctoral Research Consultant at the Kharagpur Learning Imaging and Visualization (KLIV) Group, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India, under Prof. Debdoot Sheet, where he worked on the analysis and automated detection of abnormalities in musculoskeletal X-ray images, chest radiographs, and mammograms.

Dr. Chakravarty obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science (2019) from the Center for Visual Information Technology, International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad, India, where he worked on retinal image analysis for glaucoma detection from color fundus images and intra-retinal layer segmentation in OCT volumes. He received his M.Tech. (2011) from the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, India, and his B.Tech. (2009) from the West Bengal University of Technology, India.

His research interests broadly include medical image analysis, deep learning for longitudinal and survival modeling, self-supervised representation learning, retinal imaging, and disease progression forecasting.
