Biography

He received the B.Tech degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, 1980 and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University, 1985. In January 1986, he joined the UC Berkeley where he is currently the Arthur J. Chick Professor in the Computer Science Division. He is also on the faculty of the Cognitive Science and Vision Science groups. During 2002-2004 he served as the Chair of the Computer Science Division and during 2004-2006 as the Department Chair of EECS.

He received the gold medal for the best graduating student in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur in 1980, a Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1989, and the Rosenbaum fellowship for the Computer Vision Programme at the Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge in 1993. He received the Diane S. McEntyre Award for Excellence in Teaching from the Computer Science Division, University of California at Berkeley, in 2000. He was awarded a Miller Research Professorship in 2001. He is a fellow of the IEEE.
