I am a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Media Lab with Prof. Ramesh Raskar. I received my Ph.D. from Rice University ECE Department where I was advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan. My work has been recognized by Ralph Budd best thesis award, OSA best paper prize and fellowships by Texas Instruments and Qualcomm. I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market. Feel free to email me if you know of any relevant openings.
My research lies at the intersection of applied optics, computer graphics, and computer vision. I develop intelligent systems that can uncover visual information invisible to the human eye. Through beyond-visible visual computing, these systems can, for example, see beyond line-of-sight, reveal material properties of objects and detect internal mechanical stress. By perceiving beyond human limits, my research enables critical applications such as navigation in adverse conditions, non-invasive biomedical imaging and smart infrastructure monitoring.
My research leverages the synergy between imaging, rendering and learning using three thrusts:
