About Me

Hello! I am a Ph.D. student in the Computational Imaging Lab at Rice University. I am advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraghavan.

Previously at Northwestern University, I worked with Prof. Oliver Cossairt, Prof. Florian Willomitzer, Prof. Aggelos Katsaggelos, and Prof. Emma Alexander. I graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Delhi. During my time there, I worked with Prof. Kedar Khare, Prof. Mukul Sarkar and Prof. Prem Kalra. After my graduation, I worked in Samsung Health, Bangalore on the rendering engine for Ultrasound modalities.

Research Interests

My research lies at the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision and computational imaging. My current research interests include meta optics, event sensors imaging, neural rendering, and thermal imaging
