Zubin Jacob is currently an Elmore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Department of Physics (by courtesy) at Purdue University. He is the fellow of the Optical Society of America (now called Optica), winner of the Indian Institute of Technology- Bombay Young Alumnus Achiever award (2021), European Association of Antennas and Propagation Leopold Felsen award for excellence in electrodynamics (2021), DARPA Director’s fellowship (2019), National Science Foundation CAREER award (2017), DARPA Young Faculty award (2017) and Purdue ECE Outstanding Graduate Student Mentor Award (2018). He served on the editorial board of Journal of Optics from 2016-2018 and was the technical committee chair for nanophotonics at the IEEE Photonics meeting 2018 and OSA CLEO 2019-2020.

HADAR: Learning and Machine perception in the single photon limit

We will discuss physics-driven machine learning algorithms which capture information from real world images in the low photon number limit. We explain how our approach leads to the co-design of next generation adaptive detectors and algorithms which allow for optimal extraction of information from every incoming photon. Finally, we discuss our research on HADAR: Heat-Assisted Detection and Ranging [1] which merges the fields of quantum optics, computational imaging, computer vision and machine learning.
