Anshul Shah

I am a Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University in the department of Computer Science. I am advised by Prof. Rama Chellappa working on problems in Computer Vision and Machine Learning. I am generously supported by Amazon Fellowship. I also obtained an MS in Computer Science from University of Maryland, College Park.

Previously I obtained a B.Tech(Honors) and M.Tech in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras. At IIT-M I was working under the guidance of Prof. A.N Rajagopalan in the area of Image Deblurring and Video Generation.

I interned at Microsoft Mixed Reality with Harpreet Sawhney and Ben Lundell in Summer of 2021, 2022 and at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs with Anoop Cherian in Summer of 2020. I am also actively collaborating with Rachel Reetzke, Ryan Roemmich and Rebecca Landa on early diagnosis of developmental disorders through pose based action recognition.

Research

I am interested in computer vision, machine learning. Specifically, my current research interests are in Self-Supervised learning, learning from complex videos and learning from multiple modalities and sensors.
