Ishani Chakraborty is a Principal Applied Scientist with eight years of experience translating cutting-edge computer vision research into production at Microsoft, focusing on semantic 3D understanding, embodied AI and AI-assisted collaboration. She has driven product-grade systems such as the Multi-Person Tracking pipeline for Azure’s Reality-as-a-Service and led research on HoloLens for 3D object detection, reconstruction and affordance modeling. Her Ph.D. work in visual-semantic context and probabilistic graphical models underpins a career that blends geometric priors and multi-view consistency to make perception more physically grounded. Now working on LLM alignment for Microsoft Copilot, she uniquely bridges embodied perception and language-aligned AI. A primary author on numerous publications and patents, she has a track record of turning DARPA/IARPA-funded research into deployable prototypes that influence enterprise mixed-reality and cloud services.
