Before her industry journey, she spent nearly eight years as a Senior Assistant Professor in Computer Science & Engineering at Manipal University Jaipur (Jul 2016 – Apr 2024), teaching and designing curriculum across AI, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, NLP, IoT, Image Processing, and Humanoid Robotics. She supervised 15+ M.Tech theses, collaborated with industry partners, and was recognised with the Excellent Young Researcher Award 2022 by Manipal University Jaipur.
She holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence from Manipal University Jaipur. Her doctoral research focused on robust gait recognition using deep learning to handle real-world covariates such as clothing variation, occlusion, viewpoint changes, and appearance differences. She has also served as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and has extensive academic experience as a faculty member and research mentor.
Her research profile includes over 50 peer-reviewed publications, 6 granted or published patents, more than 10 keynote talks, and reviewer roles for leading international journals and conferences. Her research interests include gait recognition, biometrics, large language models, generative AI, computer vision, NLP, robotics, IoT, bipedal locomotion, and brain–computer interaction.
At the core of her work, Dr. Parashar is a builder of intelligent systems — combining research depth, engineering execution, and academic leadership to create AI solutions that are practical, scalable, and impactful.
