| About me |
|
Hi! My name is Sharat. I'm a second year PhD candidate at MIT.
My research interests include computer vision and image analysis.
I completed by undegraduate studies at Bangalore University and got my
Master's from University at Buffalo, NY
I'm a bibliophile and love reading, novels and research papers alike.
I also indulge in 5 mile runs,swimming and road trips to keep
myself occupied when I'm not reading. I'm also a self confessed
coffee addict and need my double shot latte to begin my day.

| My Amazon wishlist! |
Just in case you were feeling very generous and had this nice warm feeling about me, here's what you need to get to make that feeling go away :)

| Reproducible Research |
|
I strongly subscribe to the view that engineering research has to be reproducible
and code/design has to be disseminated as an integral part of any scholarly publication.
I dislike spending weeks of my time, just trying to reproduce other's work for comparison
or to get a deeper understanding. I think most other researchers feel the same, while very
few actually do something about it. I already have code for most of my work online.
I appreciate researchers who publish theirs
