Summary
Santripta Sharma is a research-oriented software engineer and SPARKS Pre-Doctoral Fellow at IISc’s Visualization & Graphics Lab with eight years of hands-on experience spanning computer graphics, vision, systems software, and programming languages. She has a strong academic foundation from Ashoka University (advanced CS major with a math minor) and practical research experience in monocular 3D depth estimation, transformer accelerator co-design, and building food knowledge-graph NLP pipelines. Santripta combines experimental curiosity with engineering rigor—she builds evaluation datasets and tooling (e.g., VM/autograding infrastructures and benchmarking systems) to turn research ideas into reproducible artifacts. She’s also an experienced educator and organiser, having taught multiple CS courses, led IEEE student operations, and run campus-level tech initiatives. Colleagues describe her as an “unfocused experimentation enjoyer,” which better reflects a wide-ranging curiosity that fuels interdisciplinary solutions rather than a lack of direction. Based in Gurugram, she excels at bridging theoretical methods and practical systems to prototype novel approaches in graphics and vision.
