Saketh Rambhatla

I am a Ph.D. student in the department of ECE at University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, where I work on computer vision and deep learning. I work 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

I'm interested in computer vision, machine and deep learning. Much of my research is about training models with little to no supervision.
