Research |
3D geometry (e.g., point clouds, triangle soups, meshes) is now easy to acquire (e.g., using Microsoft Kinect), model (e.g., using Blender), or simply download from model repositories (e.g., Turbosquid, Trimble 3D Warehouse).
Such low-level data, however, makes subsequent handling and processing difficult, and hinders efficient use of model collections. Hence, I focus on
developing computational frameworks to extract high-level geometric abstractions from unorganized and heterogeneous 3D data.

Background |
Dr. Mitra is a Professor of Geometry Processing in the Department of
Computer Science, University College London (UCL).
Niloy received his
MS (2002) and PhD (Sept. 2006) in Electrical Engineering from Stanford
University under the guidance of Prof. Leonidas Guibas and Prof. Marc Levoy, and
was a postdoctoral scholar with Prof. Helmut Pottmann at
Technical University Vienna.
GMSV) center at KAUST and
was an Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi.
Before that Dr. Mitra was a postdoctoral scholar with Prof. Helmut Pottmann at
Technical University Vienna and
received his
MS (2002) and PhD (Sept. 2006) in Electrical Engineering from Stanford
University under the guidance of Prof. Leonidas Guibas and Prof. Marc Levoy (associate advisor).
He received his BS (advisor Prof. Prabir Biswas) from
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. -->
Niloy's research primarily centers around algorithmic issues in shape
analysis and geometry processing. He is also interested in
applying the analysis findings
(e.g., relations, constraints, etc.) towards next generation
design tools including smart shape synthesis and fabrication-aware
functional model design.
Niloy received the 2013 ACM Siggraph Significant New Researcher Award for "his
outstanding work in discovery and use of structure and function in 3D
objects" (UCL press
release) and the BCS Roger Needham award (BCS press release) in
2015. He
received
the ERC Starting Grant on SmartGeometry in 2013.
