About Me

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University (SUNY) , where I lead the Photon Intelligence Lab (Φ lab). Before Stony Brook, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Media Lab with Prof. Ramesh Raskar. I received my Ph.D. from Rice University ECE Department where I was advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan. Before Rice, I obtained B.Tech. and M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Madras. My work has been recognized by Rice University's Best Ph.D. Thesis Award, Optica Best Paper Prize and fellowships by Texas Instruments and Qualcomm. I am hiring at all levels: interns, visiting students, PhDs, and postdocs. Please read this if you are interested.

Photon Intelligence Lab

We develop physics-aware computer vision systems that surpass human perception, enabling machines to see the invisible. These superhuman vision systems can, for instance, see beyond line-of-sight, reveal material properties of objects and detect internal mechanical stress—enabling critical applications such as navigation in adverse conditions, noninvasive biomedical imaging and smart infrastructure monitoring.
