Hello, I'm Pranay Meshram

Student Researcher

I'm Pranay, a pre-final year undergraduate in Data Science and Engineering at IISER Bhopal. I am passionate about Computer Vision, Visual Place Recognition, and World Models, and keen to explore their role in control and scene understanding.

I recently contributed to COMBAT (Conditional World Models for Behavioral Agent Training), accepted at the ICCV 2025 Workshop, where I worked on training VAEs for world modelling. Currently, I am a Research Intern at IIT Roorkee, developing novel methods for Visual Place Recognition and building large-scale synthetic datasets.

Feel free to reach out for collaborations, discussions, or just a chat!
