ABOUT

I was born in Kerala, India. I am interested in practical algorithms for digital content creation tasks with the main focus on Sketch-based interfaces. I also work on fundamental problems in digital geometry processing, including reconstruction and meshing. Currently I am working as a tenured Assistant Professor (Maitre de Conferences in French) at LTCI-Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris since Sep 2021 (and unofficially part of VISTA and GEOMERIX teams). Previously, I worked as:

  • Doctoral Researcher - Advanced Geometric Computing Lab, IIT Madras (2014-2018 Advisor: Ramanathan Muthuganapathy)

    • During my Ph.D, I also visited École Polytechnique (2018, Advisor: Marie-Paule Cani) and University of Tokyo (2016, Advisor Takeo Igarashi).

I received the SMI (Shape Modeling International) Young Investigator Award 2024 (Interview here).
