@snigdhac25 Congratulations @snigdhac25 🎊

A senior professor once told me to wait till I get tenure before having kids. I am glad I ignored him. Feeling blessed to get tenured while having two cute toddlers! Thanks to my students for their hard work, my family for their encouragement, and my mentors for their support.

Super excited to share my work on the ultra-thin metalens camera at @SIGGRAPHAsia today! Our camera, smaller than a penny and with a thickness of just about 2mm, demonstrates exceptional performance outdoors and in-the-wild. 📸 #SIGGRAPHAsia2023

📢New research from our group “Personalized Video Relighting with an At-Home Light Stage” (1/3) We show how to leverage screen lighting as an 'at-home Light Stage' and develop a personalized relighting model. We can now replace your background and relight your faces to match it!

I was recently elected to the @OpticaWorldwide Optica Senior Member class of 2023, and here is a small interview with Optica & Photonics News: optica-opn.org/home/career/20…

Post #CVPR2024 Holiday group photo with the lab and it’s ‘emotional support’ members! Fall in North Carolina is so pretty. Come join us and have a fun grad school experience ☺️ we will do cool work in Computer Vision & Graphics!

@sixian_you @cassandra_t_ye Great work! @cassandra_t_ye I encourage you to apply to my lab at UNC! :)

Cassandra @cassandra_t_ye is an awesome undergraduate researcher in our lab. For labs who are hiring 2024 fall, she is enthusiastic about pushing imaging further during PhD :)

@UNC_Optics @UNC Likewise! I'm super excited to work with you closely again!!

@praneethchk @UNC can't wait to have you as a colleague !

I am looking for PhDs, Postdocs and Interns to explore exciting research in Optics and Generative AI in my new @UNC lab. Apply now: cs.unc.edu/graduate/gradu… Please share and spread the news :)

@AmirRezaPeimani @UNC @AmirRezaPeimani please email me your CV, research interests, etc. and we can discuss :)

@praneethchk @UNC Hi, how about interns? Didn’t find any link to apply for that.

@UNC Interested postdocs and interns, please reach out to me directly with your CV, research objectives, homepage, etc. Email me at cpk[at]cs.unc.edu

Congrats, @ahguzelUK @kaanaksit on winning the award! It was fun working with you on this!!

Happy Heel-o-ween, Tar Heels! Check out Carolina ghost stories at UNC.edu.👻👻 go.unc.edu/CarolinaGhostS… #Halloween

I’ll be hiring PhD students and Postdocs to start in Fall 2024 to work on a variety of computational imaging and display projects. Please apply, and spread the news!

If you are @ #SIGGRAPH2023 , come to our course tomorrow on Polarization-based Visual computing with @AchutaKadambi @jinwei_ye George Chen & @raskarmit to learn how this invisible light property enhances graphics & vision! hgchen.com/pol_vis_tutori… s2023.siggraph.org/presentation/?…
