Sharad V. Oberoi, PhD
Welcome! I am
currently a scientist at the Sanborn Map Company in Colorado Springs. I
coordinate Sanborn’s spatial modeling research initiative by utilizing
the recent advances made in a variety of 3D technologies including
laser scanning, photogrammetry and computer vision.
I completed my PhD
in Civil & Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and
spent the last year as a Visiting Research Scientist at the Robotics Institute,
working in Prof. Dan Siewiorek's research group. My doctoral dissertation (available here) addressed the
problem of information management in engineering design projects and presented
a research framework for assessing the extent of successful collaboration in
design teams.
In the recent past,
I have worked on modeling design communication computationally and
statistically for supporting decision-making. My research has brought together
computational linguistics, quantitative modeling and machine learning to
address problems of assessment, learning and inference. The results have been
used in decision support applications (e.g., educational assessment,
information extraction and computer-supported collaborative learning) and have
also served scientific discovery wherever text serves as data (e.g.,
sociolinguistics and political science).
