Varun Gupta | वरुण गुप्ता

I’m a Master’s student in Computer Science at IIIT Hyderabad, where I work on visual understanding and representation learning — essentially, teaching computers how to watch and make sense of the world!

I’m fortunate to be advised by Dr. Makarand Tapaswi and Prof. C.V. Jawahar, while collaborating closely with Dr. Vineet Gandhi.

Previously, I was a Research Fellow with the Mobility Group at CVIT, collaborating with Dr. Anbumani Subramanian (Intel) on an autonomous driving project, tackling road infrastructure challenges in unconstrained environments. During my undergrad, I interned at NIT Goa, where I worked with Dr. Lalat Indu Giri on contactless respiratory rate monitoring using infrared thermography.

Beyond research, you’ll find me cooking, biking around, vibing to music, capturing moments, or lifting some heavy weights!
