Updates:

I successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis in the afternoon of December 15, 2009 at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, France. For more information see: Thesis defense.
From February 2010, I will be working as a postdoctoral research fellow with the Quantitative image analysis unit, the institut Pasteur in Paris with Dr. Jean-Christophe Olivo-Marin.

About me:

Brief Bio

I am a former Ph.D. student in Computer Science with Ariana, a joint research team of INRIA, CNRS and UNS. My graudate advisors were Dr. Laure Blanc-Féraud (Director of Research, CNRS) and Dr. Josiane Zerubia (Director, Ariana research team).

I earned my BS in Electrical Engineering from IIT Roorkee, India and my MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, USA, and my Ph.D. from University of Nice-Sophia-Antipolis. For more details, here is a recent version of my CV.

Research

The subject of my Ph.D. thesis is: Blind Deconvolution for Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy. This involves restoration of images obtained from Fluorescence microscopes by modeling the degradation and using prior knowledge of the distribution of the point sources. This work is part of the P2R Franco-Israeli Project on fluorescence microscopy which is a joint collaboration between Ariana, the Institut Pasteur and Weizmann Institute.

Interests:

Broadly speaking, I am interested in the application of signal and image processing to a variety of problems. In the past, I have worked on the time-frequency analysis of nonstationary signals, their detection using wavelets, and identification using pattern recognition. You can find more details in my research page.
