Avinab Saha

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at Laboratory of Image and Video Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, advised by Prof. Al Bovik. The focal point of my current research endeavors lies within the domain of Perceptual Image & Video Quality Assessment, with a principal concentration on emerging technologies such as Cloud Gaming & Virtual Reality applications.

Previously, I was a Research Engineer at Samsung Research where I worked on the development of cutting-edge, AI-driven, low-complexity real-time algorithms for image and video enhancement applications that were commercialized in Samsung Galaxy Mobile Phones and 8K Televisions. Prior to that in 2019, I received my Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, where I worked at the Visual Information Processing Lab with Prof. Jayanta Mukhopadhyay on accelerating Deep Learning models.
