Tarasha Khurana
I am a Ph.D. candidate at The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University advised by Prof. Deva Ramanan. My research focus is broadly on spatiotemporal 4D scene understanding and its applications. Previously, during my Masters at CMU RI, I worked on estimating and exploiting 3D scene geometry from single images, to reason about occlusions and densify sparse depth input. I hold a B.E. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Delhi and have had the fortune to work at amazing companies - Boston Dynamics AI Institute, Google Research, Argo AI, Staqu Technologies.

I am a trained Kathak dancer, and Hindustani classical vocalist. I love baking, taking care of plants, and hiking. My life is made easier by my husband, Akash Sharma, who does research in robotics.
