About
When a scanner moves, the point cloud it captures quietly bends and smears. I work out exactly how that happens, and how to model and correct it, so that machines can measure the real world with confidence.
I completed my B.Tech–M.Tech Dual Degree in Civil Engineering (Geoinformatics) at IIT Kanpur, advised by Prof. Bharat Lohani. I also worked with Prof. Gaurav Pandey (Texas A&M) on a LiDAR, camera, and thermal system that guides aircraft into their parking stands.
Next, I want to build perception and mapping systems that stay accurate when sensors move and the world gets messy: motion-aware LiDAR mapping and SLAM, robust multi-sensor fusion, and simulation-driven ways to test and trust 3D measurements.
