Gothenburg, Västra Götaland County, Sweden
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKunal Chelani is a perception researcher with 11 years of experience, currently focused on 3D computer vision and visual localization after completing a PhD at Chalmers and joining Ericsson Research. His work blends rigorous geometry and machine learning to build accurate, robust 3D reconstruction and privacy-preserving localization methods, and he has exposed practical vulnerabilities in existing privacy representations while proposing concrete mitigations. He introduced a novel privacy attack vector based on querying image sequences and developed an edge-specialized 3D Gaussian splatting pipeline that produces parametric lines and Bézier curves from multi-view edge images. Kunal has industry experience from Meta Reality Labs contributing to AR scene generation and furniture placement, and earlier contributed to low-cost LiDAR–camera calibration for autonomous vehicles. Based in Gothenburg, he combines academic depth with product-oriented research, often pursuing efficient, edge-focused representations that make visual localization more practical for XR applications.
