Sreekar Sai Ranganathan

I am a first-year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University working with Ioannis Gkioulekas at the CMU computational imaging group. I'm interested in developing novel physics-based techniques for vision and 3D imaging using yet-unexplored properties of light, including interferometry.

During my undergrad at IIT Madras I worked with Prof. Uday Khankhoje on compressive sensing for antenna fault diagnosis. I did my master's thesis at the CIIP lab at TU Munich, Germany and did a summer internship at Prof. Sylvain Gigan's group at the Laboratoire Kastler-Brossel, ENS Paris.

Other work
4D spatio-temporal neural activity imaging using Fourier LFM
Master's thesis project at the CIIP Lab, Technical University of Munich (Sep 2022 - Mar 2023)

A recent development for reconstructing neural activity from fourier-light field data is sparse-decomposition LFM, which isolates sparse neural activity from background fluorescence for improved reconstruction. Developed new methods for faster reconstruction exploiting redundancies in neural activity. Supported by the DAAD KOSPIE scholarship program.

Improved NMF for imaging through scattering media
Summer Internship at the Complex Media Optics Lab, ENS Paris (May - Aug 2022)

Inspired by recent work using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for imaging through scattering media, developed a new regularisation framework exploiting optical memory-effect correlations.
