Saghi Hajisharif

Principal Research Engineer

My research interests are in visual machine learning, HDR imaging, photo-realistic rendering, compressive imaging, and light fields.

Representation learning for Computational Imaging

I am a researcher in Computer Graphics and Image Processing group. I am interested in using machine learning, specifically sparse representation learning, to transform the data into lower-dimensional space to solve research problems related to computational imaging. I received a PhD in Visualization and Media technology titled "Computational Photography: High Dynamic Range and Light fields" in 2020 from Linköping University. I have an MSc in Advanced Computer Graphics from Linköping University in 2013, focusing on Image-based lighting. In 2009 I received my BSc in Computer Science from Amirkabir University in Tehran.

Media and Information Technology

The research at MIT is conducted in groups that focuses on a separate aspect of visual information technology, but not isolated from each other. The collaborative atmosphere involves both basic and application oriented research.
