Abstract

Imagine machines that can see beyond human limitations—drones locating hidden survivors, cameras predicting structural failures, or medical devices detecting tumors beneath the skin. Traditional vision systems are constrained by the boundaries of human perception, missing vast information present in light interactions. This talk explores the development of advanced vision systems that capture underutilized dimensions of light, model intricate light-scene interactions, and extract hidden 3D information—around corners, beneath surfaces, and at high speeds. By jointly developing novel imaging hardware, efficient rendering models, and physics-based learning algorithms, we aim to transcend conventional vision capabilities—unlocking critical applications in autonomous navigation, structural monitoring, and non-invasive medical imaging.

 

Speaker Bio

Akshat Dave is a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Media Lab with Prof. Ramesh Raskar. He received his Ph.D. from Rice University ECE Department where he was advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan. His research lies at the intersection of applied optics, computer graphics, and computer vision. His research focuses on developing vision systems that go beyond human perception. His work has been recognized by Rice University's Best Thesis Award, OSA Best Paper Prize, and fellowships by Texas Instruments and Qualcomm.

 

The seminar is free. Non-Members are welcome.
