Saketh Rambhatla

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Meta AI working with Dr. Ishan Misra. I obtained my Ph.D. in ECE at University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, where I worked on in-the-wild visual understanding with Dr. Rama Chellappa and Dr. Abhinav Shrivastava.

I completed my bachelor's and master's at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. During my master's I worked on SLAM and pose recognition.

Research

At Meta, I spent most of my time working on Generative AI. My research has resulted in state-of-the-art image and video generation models and received wide media coverage. During my Ph.D. I worked on object tracking, person re-identification, object detection and discovery and multi-modal inconsistency detection tasks.

I'm on the job market this year and actively looking for Research Scientist positions. Please reach out to me if I'm a good fit at your organization
