BIO:
Ramesh Raskar is an Associate Professor at MIT Media Lab, where his research investigates computational photography, inverse problems in imaging and human-computer interaction. Recent projects and inventions include transient imaging to look around a corner, a next generation CAT-Scan machine, imperceptible markers for motion capture (Prakash), long distance barcodes (Bokode), touch+hover 3D interaction displays (BiDi screen), low-cost eye care devices (Netra,Catra), new theoretical models to augment light fields (ALF) to represent wave phenomena and algebraic rank constraints for 3D displays(HR3D). Ramesh joined the Media Lab from Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in 2008 as head of the Lab’s Camera Culture research group. His He holds over 40 U.S. patents and has received four Mitsubishi Electric Invention Awards. He is currently co-authoring a book on Computational Photography.
