Joshua Peter Ebenezer

I am a Staff Research Engineer at Samsung Research America’s (SRA) Mobile Processor Innovation (MPI) Lab, where I work on commercial camera projects (Telephoto Zoom, Night mode) and Generative AI for flagship phones. I completed my PhD at the Laboratory for Image and Video Engineering (LIVE) at UT Austin (2019–2023) under Prof. Alan Bovik and served as Assistant Director of LIVE from 2020–2023.

My research interests include computational photography, image and video quality assessment, and deep learning. I received a B.Tech. from IIT Kharagpur (GPA: 9.77/10, Institute Rank 3/643, Nilanjan Ganguly Memorial Award for best undergraduate thesis) and my PhD thesis focused on no-reference video quality assessment for livestreamed high-motion and HDR videos (sponsored by Amazon Prime Video).

For a complete list of publications, see my Google Scholar profile (340+ citations, h-index 11).

Outside research, I enjoy playing keyboard and guitar, reading theology, history, and philosophy, and volunteering. During my time at UT Austin I served as President of the Austin chapter of Bridges International.
