  • Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences
  • NEC Career Development Professor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
 

Ramesh Raskar is the Associate Director of MIT Media Lab, Assoc. Prof. at MIT and director of the Camera Culture group at MIT Media Lab.

At MIT, his co-inventions include a Camera to see around corners, femto-photography, automated machine learning (auto-ML), private ML (split-learning), low-cost eye care devices (Netra, Catra, EyeSelfie), a novel CAT-Scan machine, motion capture (Prakash), long-distance barcodes (Bokode), 3D interaction displays (BiDi screen), new theoretical models to augment light fields (ALF) to represent wave phenomena and algebraic rank constraints for 3D displays(HR3D).

In his recent role at Facebook, he launched and led innovation teams in Digital Health, Health-tech, Satellite Imaging, TV bandwidth for Connectivity, VR/AR and the 'Emerging Worlds' initiative for FB. His new focus is on building world-scale interfaces between societal systems and cyber-physical systems. They span research in physical (e.g., sensors, health-tech), digital (e.g., automating machine learning), and global (e.g., geomaps, autonomous mobility) domains.

He received the Lemelson Award 2016, ACM SIGGRAPH Achievement Award 2017, Technology Review TR100 Award 2004, Global Indus Technovator Award, top 20 Indian Technology Innovators Worldwide 2003, Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship Award 2009 and DARPA Young Faculty Award 2010. Others include the Marr Prize honorable mention 2009, LAUNCH Health Innovation Award, presented by NASA, USAID, US State Dept+ NIKE, 2010, Vodafone WirelessInnovationAward (first place) 2011. He has received four Mitsubishi Electric Invention Awards. His work has appeared in the NYTimes, WSJ, CNN, BBC, NewScientist, TechnologyReview, etc. He holds 125+ US patents.
