Summary
Bhavan Vasu is a computer vision and machine learning researcher with eight years of experience applying explainable AI, interactive ML, and domain adaptation to imagery from satellites to Mars. Currently a Graduate Research Assistant at Oregon State University and a PhD candidate, he specializes in interpretable temporal models, image generation/translation, and neural network probing and pruning. His work spans academia, industry, and government labs — including Kitware and JPL — where he augmented model interpretability for mission imagery and published on Mars-relevant instrumentation. Comfortable bridging algorithm research and practical systems, he brings embedded-sensor and time-series experience alongside deep expertise in change detection, object localization, and remote sensing. Notably, he pairs rigorous statistical modeling with hands-on engineering to make ML systems more transparent and operational in real-world imaging pipelines.
