Jerrin Bright

Ph.D.

Jerrin Bright is a doctoral student in Systems Design Engineering, supervised by Prof. John Zelek associated with the Vision and Image Processing (VIP) Lab. Jerrin’s research focuses on understanding and interacting with the dynamic, 3D world around us, with a particular emphasis on human behavior. By combining computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning, Jerrin is exploring how to capture, perceive, and understand the 4D world from what we can see in 2D images and videos. Jerrin’s goal is to develop systems that can learn priors about the 4D world from visual data, enabling us to build more realistic and interactive virtual environments centered around human activity.

Before this, he completed his Master’s degree from the University of Waterloo, Canada, and his Bachelor’s degree from Vellore Institute of Technology, India where he explored diverse research topics including SLAM for UAVs, visual odometry, camera calibration, and mechanical designing and simulations for ground vehicles, UAVs and VTOLs.
