Anand Mishra, PhD
CSE-210, Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur
Jodhpur - 342037 (RJ), India

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur. Previously, I worked with Dr. Partha Pratim Talukdar and Dr. Anirban Chakraborty at the Indian Institute of Science for nearly two years on Knowledge-aware Computer Vision. I did my PhD working under supervision of Prof. C. V. Jawahar and Dr. Karteek Alahari on understanding text in scene images at IIIT Hyderabad. At IIIT, I was a recipient of Microsoft Research India PhD fellowship 2012 and XRCI best doctoral dissertation award: first runner up 2015.

My current research interest spans Computer Vision, Language and Knowledge Graphs. To be specific, I focus on developing AI models that have the ability to acquire world and commonsense knowledge and use that knowledge to reason about the visual world and address fundamental vision tasks.
