Ahitagni Das

I'm an undergrad at Rice University, where I study ECE and CS. I currently work as a researcher at the Computational Imaging Group.

Previously, I worked as a visiting research scentist at the Nano Cybernetik Biotrek, at the MIT Media Lab, where I studied microbatteries for autnomous sub-100 micron colloidal robots under the supervision of Dr. Deblina Sarkar. I have also worked on hexagonal Boron Nitride in sodium-ion batteries for EVs, and novel lithium-ion batteries from industrial waste at the Ajayan Group at Rice where I was advised by Dr. Pulickel Ajayan and Dr. Robert Vajtai. I also interned at the Nanofludics Lab at IIT Guwahati, where I was advised by Dr. Kalyan Raidongia on novel methods of harvesting energy from plastic waste.

Research

I am interested in Deep Learning Theory, Computer Vision, Spatial Intelligence, and the application of Deep Learning in Proteomics. I am currently working on using implicit neural representations to use reflective surfaces as 5D radiance field cameras, with Dr. Vivek Boominathan and Dr. Ashok Veeraraghavan.
