Greetings!

I am a graduate student at MIT Media Lab under Prof. Ramesh Raskar. I work on Computational photography, which the geeks call Computational imaging. We are developing novel paradigms for capturing the world around us using cameras that will soon no longer look like your typical Canon or Sony 

I have focused my research, coursework and projects on signal processing, statistical inference, mathematical programming and algorithms as well as their applications to different areas ranging from communication systems, to computer vision, machine learning, biometrics and to approximation algorithms. I have generated publications from my work (please see below) and also done hands on applied work apart from theoretical research. Please see my Research! page and CV for more details about my research experience and projects
