Akshat Dave

I am an Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Media Lab in Camera Culture group led by Prof. Ramesh Raskar . I recently completed my Ph.D. from the Computational Imaging Lab at Rice University where I was advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan.

My research interests lie at the intersection of vision, graphics, optics and machine learning. I am actively working on co-designing cameras and algorithms that exploit unique properties of light to solve challenging imaging and vision problems. My research includes non-line-of-sight imaging using ultrafast time-of-flight cameras and radiance decomposition using polarization cameras.

I've also worked as a Research Intern at Adobe Research in Dr. Kalyan Sunkavalli 's group. I received my Masters and Bachelors from Indian Institute of Technology Madras, where I worked with Prof. Kaushik Mitra on solving inverse problems using deep learning.
