Siddharth Somasundaram
I am a graduate student at MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA, advised by Prof. Ramesh Raskar in the Camera Culture group. My research interests are in computational imaging, computer vision, time-of-flight imaging, and inverse problems.
I previously graduated from UCLA Electrical Engineering in 2021, where I worked with Prof. Diana Huffaker on semiconductor nanowire photodetectors and with Prof. Achuta Kadambi on computational camera design.
