Praroop Chanda

Hi! I am a first-year master's student at Texas A&M, currently working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Visual and Spatial Gradient Lab under Prof. Suryansh Kumar.

Previously, I worked as a backend developer at Deloitte for two years before starting my master's. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics from Manipal Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Harish Kumar J.R.. During my final year, I was also selected in Google Summer of Code (GSoC).

My research interests lie at the intersection of 3D vision, Generative AI, and computer vision, with a particular focus on optical flow, stereo and depth estimation, and 3D reconstruction. Currently work with models such as Vision Transformers (ViT-16, Swin), DINO, Diffusion Models, NeRF, and 3D Gaussian Splatting.
