Research Associate in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, working on the D-HYDROFLEX and DRF projects under the supervision of Professor Ioannis Brilakis. Before, I was a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at Division of Imaging Science and Technology, University of Dundee, worked on a vision system for soft endorobots led by Dr. Luigi Manfredi. I did my PhD in 3D computer vision at Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Patna advised by Dr. Jimson Mathew. I’m primarily interested in understanding 3D representation from 2D cameras. My current research goal is to build a mobile 3D scanner to create digital twins for infrastructures.
