Dr. Siddharth Manay is a technical member of staff in the Engineering directorate.  He works on the application of data science to nonproliferation and intelligence problems, including mathematical methods for multi-sensor integration and large-scale image and video processing problems (such as broad area search, object tracking, and compression). His roles on multi-disciplinary teams include algorithm research and development, software development, operations support, and leadership for research projects.

Siddharth joined LLNL in 2004 as a data scientist. He holds a Ph.D. (2003) in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology where he developed methods for image processing and computer vision.
