About Vivek Boominathan
Personal Website: vivekboominathan.comI am currently a Research Scientist in The Computational Imaging Group headed by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan at Rice University. My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, applied optics, and nanofabrication. My current research focuses on building novel optical systems designed jointly with machine learning algorithms to create devices with applications in wearables, robotics, machine vision, medical sensing, the internet of things (IoT), and virtual/augmented reality. Furthermore, I use custom fabricated optics and chips to overcome the challenges of traditional lenses and image sensors, such as size, weight, and function. Broadly, my research is in computational imaging and draws from the foundations of computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning, wave optics, photonics, and materials science.
