Biography
I'm a graduate student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, majoring in Robotics Engineering. I'm working at the intersection of robotics and deep learning to develop solutions that have societal impact.
My venture in robotics began at Dr. Shital Chiddarwar's IvLabs where I worked on SLAM and Computer Vision and briefly in the fields of Controls and Machine Learning. I spent the summer of 2021, working in the field of Active Perception under the guidance of Dr. Marco Cognetti remotely. In the winter of 2021, I remotely worked on the application of Reinforcement Learning on flexible robots under the guidance of Dr. Ramsharan Rangarajan.
Post undergrad, I worked at the Robotics Research Center, IIIT Hyderabad. My work at RRC revolved around the fields of Deep Learning, Computer Vision and Reinforcement Learning. I significantly worked on UAV-based Assessment of Civil Structures (Advised by Dr. Ravi Kiran and Dr. Harikumar), Obstacle Avoidance for UAVs, and Scene Understanding (Advised by Prof. Madhava Krishna)
