Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSuraj Maniyar is a Research Scientist with 8 years of experience specializing in computer vision and machine learning, currently driving face anti-spoofing, liveness detection, and recognition models at Aware, Inc. He has a strong academic foundation from NC State (MS Electrical Engineering) and practical R&D experience from Kitware, where he combined deep learning with topological features to improve histopathology classification. At Aware he replaced third-party algorithms with lightweight, faster in-house models (10x smaller, 2x faster), pioneered reflection-based spoof detection and mask-robust workflows, and built a C++ TensorFlow Lite wrapper for single-threaded benchmarking. Proficient in Python and C++ with hands-on PyTorch/TensorFlow/Keras, he also applies active learning and embedding-based outlier detection to improve training data quality. Based in Mumbai, he blends research rigor with production-focused engineering and a track record of turning novel ideas into customer-facing wins.
