Kedar Tatwawadi

Hello! I am a research engineer at Apple (Video Engineering). I like to work on problems at the intersection of computer vision, information theory and data compression.
Education
I did my undergrad from IIT Bombay, and my PhD from Stanford under the guidance of Prof. Tsachy Weissman. I worked at WaveOne inc, a startup working on ML-based compression before working at Apple.
I also served as an Adjunct Professor at Stanford while designing and teaching the course EE274: Data Compression.
Research
Although most of recent work is at industry and hence not public, you can take a look at some of my past work here:
Software
Here are some softwares I helped write/create
- Stanford Compression Library: a simple python package designed for educational reasons, while teaching the EE274: Data Compressioncourse at Stanford.
- Spring compressor: A no-reference compressor for FASTQ genomic data.
- DeepZip: A somewhat old work which used RNNs for lossless compression.
