Natasha Kholgade

I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I am advised by Yaser Sheikh.

My research lies at the intersection of computer graphics and computer vision. I am interested in the extraction, manipulation, and editing of three-dimensional information in photographs. Currently, I am working on editing objects in 3D from photographs using 3D models obtained from online repositories.

I received my M.S. and B.S. degrees in 2009 from the Department of Computer Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology under the supervision of Andreas Savakis.
