Srinivasa Narasimhan is a Professor of Robotics and ECE (courtesy) at 
Carnegie Mellon University. He obtained his PhD from Columbia University 
in Dec 2003. His group focuses on novel techniques for imaging, 
illumination and light transport to enable applications in vision, 
graphics, robotics, agriculture and medical imaging. His works have 
received several awards: Best Demo Award (IEEE ICCP 2015), A9 Best Demo 
Award (IEEE CVPR 2015), Marr Prize Honorable Mention Award (2013), FORD 
URP Award (2013), Best Paper Runner up Prize (ACM I3D 2013), Best Paper 
Honorable Mention Award (IEEE ICCP 2012), Best Paper Award (IEEE PROCAMS
