Santosh Kumar Divvala
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Washington, working with Ali Farhadi and Carlos Guestrin. I received a PhD in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2012, where I worked under the supervision of Martial Hebert and Alyosha Efros.
My interests are in Computer Vision, specifically the Scene/Image Understanding problem. My approach to this problem takes a Machine Learning perspective so as to leverage today's Internet-scale image & video databases. The results of my research apply to Robotics (helping robots better 'interpret' the world around them) & to Computational Photography (enhancing the way we humans relish our photo collections).
In Summer'11, I interned in the Computer Vision group at Google, Mountain View. In Summer'10, I worked as a research intern in the Interactive Visual Media group at Microsoft Research, Redmond. In Fall'09, I was a visiting student researcher at ENS/INRIA Paris as part of the WILLOW Research team. In Summer'06, I interned with the Imaging Technologies Group at GE Research, Bangalore. I did my Undergrad and Masters (Dual Degree) at the Center for Visual Information Technology, IIIT Hyderabad, India. At IIIT-H, I had worked with C V Jawahar and P J Narayanan.
