Biography

I completed my PhD from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Delhi under the supervision of Dr. Subhashis Banerjee , Dr. Prem Kalra and Dr. Chetan Arora.. Here is my PhD dissertation. I completed my M. Tech. and undergrads in the same department at IIT Delhi and Bengal Engineering and Science University (currently IIEST) Shibpur respectively. During my PhD and Masters, I worked on different challenging problems in the field of Computer vision and Graphics. I am currently working as an Applied Research Scientist at Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), London, UK. Here is my Resume.

Research Interests

My primary research interest lies in the field of Computer Vision and Graphics. I have worked on Large scale 3D reconstruction using images and also on 3D Sensor Fusion using Kinect.
I am currently working on Simulataneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using head mounted cameras (egocentric videos).
