Naveen Chandra R
Staff ML Engineer at Vimaan
I was a Research Assistant at the Vision and AI Lab (VAL), IISc Bangalore, with Prof. R. Venkatesh Babu. There I collaborated with PhD students Ankit Dhiman and Rishubh Parihar on making image and video generative models 3D consistent. Before joining VAL, I spent three years as a Senior Data Scientist at HiLabs, building LLM-based information-extraction systems for healthcare data.
I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur with a Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) in Aerospace Engineering. My M.Tech thesis, supervised by Dr. Mangal Kothari, was on control of aerial swarm vehicles. At IIT Kanpur, I was part of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle team (AUV-IITK), where I led the team’s first-ever participation in RoboSub 2019 and co-authored a paper on our vehicle ANAHITA at the IEEE/OES AUV Workshop 2018.
