BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Chandrajit Choudhury obtained his Bachelor of Technology from NIT Silchar in 2006. He obtained his Masters of Technology from IIT Kanpur in 2011, and Ph.D. from IIt Powai, Mumbai in 2016.

He joined IBM India Pvt. Ltd., after his B.Tech. in 2006. He briefly served as an adhoc faculty in MCT, RGIT Mumbai, for almost seven months. He joined National Institute of Technology (NIT), Silchar on February 2017 as a temporary faculty. In 2018 he joined NIT Silchar as assistant professor.

His research interest, in broad sense, lies in computer vision and machine learning domain. His PhD. research was on light field image compressiong and 3D image reconstruction using mutli-view geometry. This work included topics like multi-view geometry, compressive sensing, sparse signal processing, L1 optimization, Learning Dictionaries for better signal representation. Besides these he has also worked in vision problems like, grayscale to color image coversion, underwater image restoration, image de-blurring, offline handwritten text recognition, Self-supervised object detection, Facial pose, expression and identity recognition. He has a little bit experience in medical image processing in breast cancer detection and gastro intestinal cancer detection. He has experience in machine learning algorithms like random-forest, kernel based methods, hybrid learning methods and deep learning based methods like: auto-encoders, CNN, GAN, Self-su[prevised learning, Vision Transformers.
