I am a tenure track assistant professor in the ECE department at the University of California Riverside.
Research Interests
My research interests are in the area of computational imaging where I co-design optical systems and algorithms to sense, represent, and infer from high dimensional visual signals such as videos, hyperspectral images, and lightfields. My research encompasses a broad set of disciplines including optics, meta-materials, algorithms, machine learning, and signal processing.

Previous experience and education
I worked with Prof. Richard Baraniuk and Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan from 2020 - 2023,
where I was a Rice Future Faculty Fellow from 2020 to 2021, and a recipient of the outstanding postdoctoral researcher award in 2022.
I did my doctoral research with Prof.
Aswin Sankaranarayanan from Carnegie Mellon University.
My thesis was on
Spectrally-programmable cameras for imaging and inference.
I was a recipient of the
outstanding teaching assistant in the ECE department in 2018, the
Prabhu and Poonam Goel graduate fellowship award in 2019, and the
A. G. Jordan award for outstanding thesis in the ECE departmant in 2020. My thesis was also a finalist for the ACM SIGGRAPH 2020 thesis fast forward.
Prior to CMU, I was an undergraduate in the
EE department at
Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
I worked with
Prof. A N Rajagopalan on several image
enhancement algorithms on mobile device. I graduated in 2014 with Honors and a
minor in Operations Research.
