About me.

I am currently working as a Product Owner at Tobii AB, Sweden, a world leader in eye tracking technology and solutions. My role involves leading the development of eye tracking products and components in the XR segment and ensuring these products meet specified business value. Prior to this, 2014 - 2020, I worked as a Technical Lead/Scrum Master and Senior Algorithm Developer in the algorithm platform and integration team at Tobii AB. During this time, we successfully delivered the Tobii Eye Tracking VR Development Kit and integrated Tobii eye tracking technology into various platform such as HTC VIVE Pro Eye, StarVR One, Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile and XR platforms, Pico Neo 2 Eye, HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition VR. Furthermore, I am incredibly proud to be a part of the Tobii team that has integrated eye-tracking technology into Sony PlayStation VR2.

As a graduate researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, I pursed research on advancing 3D scene geometry, creating innovative view rendering algorithms, and designing novel data formats for the evolving field of free-viewpoint television under the guidance of Markus Flierl, while receiving partial research support from Ericsson AB and ACCESS Linnaeus Centre, KTH from 2008 to 2012.

I hold a Master of Technology from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India and a Master of Science in Physics from Ranchi University, Ranchi, India. Additionally, I have experience as a Lecturer, teaching Physics at Government Polytechnic, Koderma, India for approximately one year.

I have a deep passion for the captivating realm of visual computing and the remarkable ways in which machine learning can be applied within this domains.
