I am a Research Scientist at Google Research.
Previously, I was a Research Engineer at Flutter, a startup based in San Francisco building gesture recognition systems, which was acquired by Google.
I graduated in 2012 with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Washington. Here's a copy of my thesis.
I was advised by Prof.
Steven M.
Seitz.
In past life, I spent
four wonderful years
at IIT
Delhi where I got my Bachelors
degree in Computer Science and Engineering.

Implemented
the 'Face Movie'
feature released as a part of Picasa 3.8.
It creates smooth face-aligned movies from personal photo collections
by aligning faces based on pose and expression. This was done during a
6 month internship at Google Seattle during Spring-Summer 2010 working
with Steve
Seitz and Ira
Kemelmacher-Shlizerman. |
