Sourav Mishra
Senior Machine Learning Engineer
theAstate-Kinliser
I work on computer vision, graphics and machine learning at theAstate, a subsidiary venture of Kinliser Japan. I manage projects which range from image-aided estimations to generating immersive 3D layout. I have recently forayed into LLMs & designing bespoke solutions using it.
I earned my PhD from University of Tokyo in 2021 in limited-data deep learning. I am also an alumnus of Virginia Tech where I earned dual Masters in Electrical & Computer Engineering (2013) and Biomedical Imaging (2015).

ML Interests
