Research Topic: Developing Methodologies for parametric reconstruction of Human Face in 3D Environment

A multi-disciplinary research to recreate human face in 3D, an effort to reproduce individual's face from verbal explanation, photographs or skeletal remains. This comprehensive work may give a name to a dead, find a criminal, help surgeon to visualize surgical modifications or anybody to sculpt human face without artistic and technical skills. This research will empower every individual who deals with human face.

While walking towards stage, I was thinking. This Research would not have been possible without the guidance of my thesis guide, Prof.T.M. Kanvinde. 

I want to express my gratitude to all those individuals in various walks of life who shared their time and knowledge discussing with me on human face. Without their perspectives, this study would not have enriched with so many dimensions. — at Symbiosis International University, Lavale.

A long cherished wish that came true. 

Receiving Ph. D. degree from Dr. M.M. Pallam Raju, Hon'ble Minister for Human Resource Development, Government of India.

With my proud family, wife Samiksha Yadav, daughter Diya Yadav, bro Skekhar Yadav, niece Rohini. Credit must also go to Samiksha and Diya for keeping smile on their face, though I snatched their joyful time to adorn my study.

I lovingly dedicate my degree to my mother. 

Mummy, words can never express the deepest gratitude I have for you.

and thus another milestone achieved.
A Knowledge-seeker's journey is very funny and mysterious. The moment one goal is achieved, it disappears and another appears ... distance apart, high up on mountain top. Fanatic, curious mind gets off for another expedition. A new mission, again relentless efforts, sleepless nights, rising frustration, craving and yearning for success.
For a layman, it might look very confusing. For him, ignorance is bliss and unknown is fate. 
For a knowledge-seeker, it is the question of existence. For him, goal is to solve every single riddle in the universe. Analyse, discern, understand all mystical real and unreal facts, transfer each entity from unknown to known pocket. The ultimate mission is simple, to understand the truth.
In spite of knowledge is finite and truth is infinite, the saga continues....
