I’ve spent two decades bringing AI technology to life in well engineered products that provide real value to users with teams of brilliant and dedicated scientists, engineers, PMs, etc. Application areas have included security, safety, 2D/3D map building, business intelligence, geospatial analysis, routing, location, etc. I’ve been fortunate to have had opportunities to build and lead multidisciplinary teams at many companies. A list of my publications is here and patents here. I received a Ph.D. and a Masters in CS from the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), both with a research focus on computer vision and AI, and specifically geospatial imagery analysis, and human action detection and pose estimation. I received a Masters in Aerospace Engineering, also from UMD, with a research focus on developing computational fluid dynamics methods for rotorcraft flows and their modification targeting aeroacoustics. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
