Welcome!

Hi! 

I'm Abbhinav Venkat, an ML Research at StarMall Inc,  an MIT founder's early stage startup that works in the furniture e-commerce space. 

Previously, I was a Research Assistant at the Geometric Computing Lab at Stanford University, working with Prof. Leonidas Guibas and Prof. Srinath Sridhar on modeling real-world dynamics from videos. 

I've completed by BTech and MS (by Research) at the Centre for Visual Information Technology (CVIT), International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H), under the guidance of Dr. Avinash Sharma. My expertise lies at the intersection of Machine Learning and 3D.

Research Interests

We live in a 3-Dimensional world. Our eyes are able to interpret the volume of objects, relative positioning between them, their categories, possible deformations, texture and much more, from the light rays that enter them. My research attempts at mimicking the human visual system, for the specific case of interpreting the 3D of non-rigid objects (such as humans, birds etc.) from RGBD images. Further, I'd like to perform higher order analysis, given the 3D of the object. 

Going ahead, I'd like to specialise in Robotics, Applied ML and Computer Vision. In addition to my existing work, my research interests extend to broader topics such as:
