Debaditya Acharya is a Lecturer in Geospatial Science at RMIT University with nine years of experience applying computer vision, machine learning and remote sensing to real-world problems such as indoor positioning, 3D building modelling and food automation. He holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne where he developed infrastructure-free visual sensing for indoor localisation and contributed to the ISPRS benchmark for indoor modelling. His work spans academia and applied research—previously a CSIRO Early Research Career Fellow—where he applied MLAI to fisheries anomaly detection and developed CCTV- and LiDAR-based pedestrian tracking and urban 3D models. Debaditya combines teaching large undergraduate cohorts with supervising masters projects and ethics review service, reflecting strong mentorship and governance experience. He brings a practical systems mindset from earlier engineering roles (including mining operations) that complements his research rigour. Colleagues can expect someone who bridges cutting-edge imaging technologies (LiDAR, photogrammetry) with deployable ML solutions.
