Jiddu Krishnan OP

Biography

Jiddu Krishnan O P is a Ph.D. Scholar in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at 
the National Institute of Technology Silchar, India, where he has submitted his thesis. He obtained his 
B.Tech. in Computer Science from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, followed by an 
M.Tech. in Computer Science from the College of Engineering Trivandrum (CET). He qualified both 
the GATE (2018) and UGC-NET (2019) examinations. His doctoral research focuses on the develop
ment of artificial intelligence and deep learning methodologies for automated pulmonary nodule de
tection, segmentation, diagnosis, and characterization from computed tomography (CT) images. 
His research interests encompass medical image analysis, computer vision, explainable artificial intel
ligence, trustworthy machine learning, and healthcare analytics. His work involves the development of 
novel deep learning architectures, hybrid radiomic models, calibration techniques, explainability 
frameworks, and reproducible AI pipelines for clinical decision support.
