Dhruv Batra I am an Assistant Professor at the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech, where I lead the VT Machine Learning & Perception group.
From Sep 2010 - Dec 2012, I was a Research Assistant Professor at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC), a philanthropically endowed academic computer science institute located in the campus of University of Chicago. I recieved my Ph.D. in 2010 from Carnegie Mellon University.
In past, I have held visiting positions at:
My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and computer vision, with a focus on developing efficient probabilistic models that learn from large quantities of data and make progress on difficult perception problems.
On the machine learning front, I develop tools like:
