SmokeSeer
MS Thesis · 3D Gaussian splatting for wildfire scenes · Project page · 3DV 2026
- Decomposes wildfire scenes into smoke and surface Gaussians, rendering smoke-free views to assist firefighting.
- Integrates fluid particle hydrodynamics into the splatting pipeline to model the temporal behavior of smoke.
- Adapts Mast3r-SfM to localize RGB and thermal cameras in a shared coordinate frame.
3D-Aware Vision-Language-Action Policies
Robot Learning course · Manipulation
- Studied how RGB features and depth-derived scene geometry complement language conditioning in action prediction.
- Probed the role of explicit geometry in sample efficiency, viewpoint generalization, and spatial reasoning under occlusion.
Needle: Deep Learning Framework
Deep Learning Systems course · Report
- Differentiable-programming library from scratch with C and CUDA backends, gradient accumulation, and NCCL/Gloo distributed training.
- Trained a Llama-3 architecture on OpenWebText across 8×4090 nodes with the custom backend.
Multiview Diffusion Models
Learning for 3D Vision course · Multiview image-to-image translation
- Multiview-aware diffusion model for domain translation (e.g. day-to-night) with a conditional U-Net aggregating features along epipolar constraints.
RGB-Thermal Sensor Fusion
ADAS research · Advisors: Prof. Aswin Sankaranarayanan, Prof. Kaushik Mitra
- Physics-based capture of aligned low-light RGB, well-lit RGB, and thermal images of the same scene.
- Cross-attention architecture that super-resolves thermal images using RGB guidance.
