Dr. Ritesh Sharma is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Intelligent Infrastructure at Missouri University of Science and Technology. His current research focus is on 3D reconstruction (for creating digital twins) and SLAM for drone navigation beyond the line of sight for intelligent infrastructure inspections. Previously, he graduated with a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of California, Merced, where his research focus was on AI (artificial intelligence) path and motion planning for multi-agent navigation. He also holds an MS degree in Computer Science from Oregon State University, where his research focus was on scientific visualization. With a diverse research background and interest in computer graphics, visualization, animation, robotics, geometry processing and modeling, AI path planning, motion planning, and machine learning, he has worked at multiple institutes, including Palo Alto Research Center, Hasso-Plattner Institute, Wolfram Research, Amazon Robotics, and Passur Aerospace Inc. He has published his research works at various research avenues such as SIGGRAPH ASIA, IEEE VIS, ACM I3D, CGF, C&G, CAVW, Eurographics, EuroVis, and Building Simulation, among others.
