San Jose, CA
I am a Principal Scientist at Adobe Research.
I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2012 under the supervision of Hanspeter Pfister. I received my Masters in 2006 from Columbia University. I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in 2003.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision and Graphics; in particular, my work focuses on understanding different aspects of visual appearance in images and videos—illumination, geometry, reflectance, color, texture, motion, etc.—and building tools that enable users to reconstruct, edit and enhance them.
