Srinivasa Narasimhan is an Associate Professor in the Robotics Institute 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 and medical imaging. His works have received several awards: 
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 2009), the Okawa Research Grant (2009), the NSF CAREER Award (2007), Adobe 
Best Paper Award (IEEE Workshop on Physics based methods in computer vision, ICCV 2007) and 
IEEE Best Paper Honorable Mention Award (IEEE CVPR 2000). His research has been covered in 
popular press including NY Times, BBC, PC magazine and IEEE Spectrum and is highlighted by 
NSF and NAE. He is the co-inventor of smart headlights which made several top 10 lists of 
promising technologies including Car and Driver and Edmunds. He is also the co-inventor of 
Aqualux 3D display, Assorted-pixels and Motion-aware cameras and low-power outdoor 
'Kinect'. He co-chaired the International Symposium on Volumetric Scattering in Vision and 
Graphics in 2007, the IEEE Workshop on Projector-Camera Systems (PROCAMS) in 2010, and the 
IEEE International Conference on Computational Photography (ICCP) in 2011, is co-editing a 
special journal issue on Computational Photography, and serves on the editorial board of 
the International Journal of Computer Vision and as Area Chair of top computer vision 
conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV).
