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:
- Research Associate - Computer Graphics and Visualization Group, TU Delft (2020-2021 Advisor: Elmar Eisemann)
- Assistant Professor - Department of Computer Science, IIT Guwahati (2019-2020)
- Postdoctoral Researcher - GeoVic (formerly STREAM) team - LIX, École Polytechnique (2019 Advisor: Marie-Paule Cani)
- Predoctoral Fellow - Advanced Geometric Computing Lab, IIT Madras (2018-2019 Advisor: Ramanathan Muthuganapathy)
- 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 lead ANR SketchMAD project on novel algorithms for Sketch-based Modeling (2024-2028) and head the
IGD masters at Institut Polytechnique de Paris (2024-20xx).
I'm always looking for exceptional and well-motivated students. Don't hesitate to contact me if
you are interested!!! Currently, I am looking for: Postdoctoral Researchers, PhD Students, Research Engineers, Research Interns
