Summary
Sakshi Kakde is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in computer vision, 3D reconstruction, and Neural Radiance Fields, currently driving surface reconstruction research and product work at Fyusion. With an M.Eng. in Robotics from the University of Maryland and a B.Tech. from VNIT, she blends academic rigor with industry experience from Quidient and a research internship on AR/VR camera pose at Apple. Her work sits at the intersection of physics-informed rendering and deep learning, aiming to infer material properties, manipulate light fields, and enable novel-view synthesis and relighting. She has a strong robotics foundation—ranging from event-camera motion estimation to mapping and localization for autonomous vehicles—that informs her practical, systems-oriented approach to vision problems. Not obvious from titles alone, she moved quickly from research roles into senior engineering leadership while maintaining hands-on expertise with cutting-edge neural scene representations.
