Before joining CMU, I earned a B.Tech from the Institute of Technology, Benaras Hindu University. As an undergrad, I spent a summer working with Santanu Chaudhury, in the Multimedia Lab, Electrical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

Personal Notes:

Kodak Momemt?

With professional photographers and "colour technicians" on their payroll, Kodak ensures that all employees get that perfect picture (like the one above). Thank you Kodak!
