I'm Akshaya Athwale, a Ph.D. student at Université Laval. I have the privilege of working under the guidance of Prof. Jean-François Lalonde and Ola Ahmad. My research focuses on geometric deep learning and developing netowkrs to understnad and reason on distortions in wide-angle images. During my Ph.D. journey, I had the valuable opportunity to intern at Thales Digital Solutions, where I worked closely with Ola Ahmad. Before joining Université Laval, I did a research assistantship at Aalto University under the supervision of Alexander Ilin, where I worked on physics-informed neural networks. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computing from IIT(ISM) Dhanbad.
I'm interested in geometric deep learning, wide angle images, and computer vision. Currently, I have focused my research on developing networks for understanding distortion in wide-angle images and reasoning on them without undistorting them. Here, you can find a list of my papers.
