Ramesh Raskar is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology associate professor and head of the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture research group.[2][3][4] Previously he worked as a senior research scientist at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) during 2002 to 2008.[5] He holds 132 patents in computer vision, computational health, sensors and imaging.[6][7] He received the $500K Lemelson–MIT Prize in 2016.[8] The prize money will be used for launching REDX.io, a group platform for co-innovation in Artificial Intelligence.[9] He is well known for inventing EyeNetra (mobile device to calculate spectacle glasses prescription), EyeCatra (cataract screening) and EyeSelfie (retinal imaging), Femto-photography (trillion frames per second imaging)[citation needed] and his TED talk for cameras to see around corners.[10]
In February 2020, Raskar and his team launched Private Kit: SafePaths, a public health tool for contact tracing for COVID-19 pandemic. He is also the Founder and Chief Scientist of PathCheck. He is a co-founder of Akasha.im which was acquired by Alphabet spin-off company Intrinsic.[11]
