About me
I am a Principal Research Scientist in the Computer Vision group at MERL.
I finished my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University in 2019. My PhD advisor was Prof. Pavan Turaga in the Geometric Media Lab.
My main research interests are in computer vision and computational imaging. I have experience in high-level inference problems like object recognition and detection, action recognition, and inverse problems like image restoration and multispectral image fusion. I design algorithms for these applications primarily using deep learning and sometimes using cooler tools like Riemannian geometry.
Recently I have been working on estimating vital signs (like heart rate) directly from videos, detecting objects in lidar scenes, and abstract visual+linguistic reasoning working towards data- and parameter-efficient general intelligence.
Previously, I have spent wonderful summers at MERL, SRI International, Nvidia and ISI
