Hi! I am Shivang Chopra, a graduate student at Georgia Institute of Technology, pursuing masters in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning.

Currently, I am working as a Computer Vision Research Intern at Sony R&D Center, Switzerland in the Advanced Sensors & Modelling Group. Over the summer of 2023, I interned at Amazon Science in the Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems where I worked on a ranking system for newly onboarded products on Amazon.com.

Before joining GaTech, I was working as a Research Intern at Microsoft Research Lab, India under the supervision of Dr. Venkat Padmanabhan. At MSRI, I was working on Project HyWay, a Computer Vision-based system which enables interaction between people in hybrid workspaces.

My primary research interests span the domains of Computer Vision, Theoritical Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. I am also fascinated by Augmented Reality based applications and games.

In the past have worked as a Research Intern at CARAML Lab, UT Dallas under the guidance of Dr. Rishabh Iyer. I have also worked as a Research Intern at IBM Research Lab India under the mentorship of Dr. Sameep Mehta, at MIDAS Lab, IIIT Delhi under the guidance of Dr. Rajiv Ratn Shah and at IIT Delhi under the guidance of Dr. Chetan Arora.
