About
Tejas Gokhale is an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. He previously received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University in 2023, M.S. from Carnegie Mellon University in 2017, and B.E.(Honours) from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani in 2015. Tejas is a computer vision researcher; his research draws inspiration from principles of perception, communication, learning, and reasoning. He directs the Cognitive Vision Group at UMBC, broadly working on conceptual characterization of visual scenes, with some goals including interpretation of visual data in presence of incomplete information, recognizing and adapting to novelty and variations, leveraging external knowledge and reasoning modules to generalize to new contexts, domains, environments, and tasks, acquiring visual knowledge and communicating it to other machines and humans.
