Ramesh Raskar is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Associate Professor and head of the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture research group.[1] He received the TR100 Award from Technology Review and holds over fifty patents. Raskar grew up in Nashik, India[2] and finished his PhD at UNC Chapel Hill.

His lab produced a number of extreme highspeed pictures using a femto-camera that took images at around one-trillion frames per second.[3] They have also developed a camera to see around corners using bursts of laser light.[4] His lab also co-produced a new device, EyeNetra, to compute refractive error of eye (prescription for eyeglasses) on a mobile phone. This has been spun out as a venture EyeNetra.com.[5]

Raskar, together with others, also developed a computational display technology that allows observers with refractive errors, cataracts and some other eye disorders to perveice a focused image on a screen without wearing refraction-corrective spectacles. The technology uses a light field display in combination with customized filtering algorithms that predistort the presented content for the observer.[6][7]

Juliett Fiss has covered his role as the catalyst behind the Siggraph NEXT program at Siggraph 2015 in Los Angeles.[8]

Prof. Ramesh Raskar recently held a Reddit AMA (Ask me Anything).[9][10]
