Ramesh Raskar is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Associate Professor and head of the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture research group.[2][3][4] He holds over seventy-five patents.[5][6] He received the $500K Lemelson–MIT Prize in 2016.[7] The prize money will be used for launching REDX.io, a group platform for co-innovation.[8]

Prof. Ramesh Raskar recently held a Reddit AMA (Ask me Anything).[9][10]

Early life and education

Ramesh Raskar was born in Nashik, India and he finished his engineering education from College of Engineering, Pune.[11][12] He finished his PhD at UNC Chapel Hill.

MIT Media Lab

Raskar joined MIT Media Lab in 2007.[13] Raskar, together with others developed a computational display technology that allows observers with refractive errors, cataracts and some other eye disorders to perceive a focused image on a screen without wearing refraction-corrective spectacles. The technology uses a light field display in combination with customized filtering algorithms that pre-distort the presented content for the observer.[14][15]

His lab produced a number of extreme highspeed pictures using a femto-camera that took images at around one-trillion frames per second.[16] They have also developed a camera to see around corners using bursts of laser light.[17]

Juliett Fiss has covered his role as the catalyst behind the Siggraph NEXT program at Siggraph 2015 in Los Angeles.[18]
