Siddharth Somasundaram

I am a PhD student at MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA working with Prof. Ramesh Raskar in the Camera Culture group. My research is currently supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I previously graduated from UCLA Electrical Engineering in 2021, where I worked with Prof. Diana Huffaker on semiconductor nanowire photodetectors and Prof. Achuta Kadambi on computational camera design.

My goal is to enable new vision capabilities by designing sensing systems that perceive the world differently from the human eye. My current interests are in single-photon and time-of-flight imaging. My research has covered applications in 3D vision, low-light, high-speed, and non-line-of-sight imaging. Selected papers are highlighted.

Practical non-line-of-sight imaging using off-the-shelf consumer LiDAR hardware.

Data-driven shape and material recovery under complex time-resolved light transport.

Sensor fusion approach for high-speed, low-light imaging.

Sensor fusion approach for 3D reconstruction of textureless surfaces in low-light.

Mapping specular surfaces using natural handheld motion of consumer-gradeLiDAR.

Single-view occlusion-aware 3D reconstruction using two-bounce LiDAR.

LiDAR transients can reduce number of measurements needed for two-bounce non-line-of-sight imaging.

Detect and map specular surfaces using angle-of-arrival and time-of-flight of light.

Review perspective on convergence of computational imaging, end-to-end optimization, and physics-based machine learning for imaging system design.
