I am a master’s student at New York University, majoring in Computer Engineering. I am also a Graduate Research Assistant at the Agile Robotics and Perception Lab (ARPL) at NYU. My major research focus is on robot perception and manipulation.

Before joining NYU, I completed my Research Associate work at the Computational Imaging Lab at IIT Madras in the domain of computer vision, and computational imaging where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Kaushik Mitra, and Prof. Aswin C Sankaranarayanan. I completed my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering at Savitribai Phule Pune University in June’23. Previously, in my final semester, I worked as a Founding Machine Learning Intern at Seisei.ai, where my work was specifically related to voice cloning and visual face dubbing using Generative models. I am the recipient of the esteemed Mitacs Globalink Research internship Award where I worked in the domain of deep learning, and biological physics at Dalhousie University, Halifax in the summers of 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Rutenberg. In my sixth semester, I worked as an Applied Research Fellow at the Centre for Visual Information Technology (CVIT) at IIIT Hyderabad on object detection, and classification problems advised by Prof. Ravi Kiran Sarvadevabhatla, Dr. Rohit Saluja, and Prof. C V Jawahar. Lastly, I have also worked as a winter research intern in my fifth semester on pedestrian detection and path prediction at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics(CAIR) at Defence Research and Development Organisation(DRDO).

Research Interests

My research interests center around Robot Perception and Manipulation, specifically in developing autonomous robotic systems capable of interactive decision-making and complex real-world perception. I aim to work at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and reinforcement learning to advance the capabilities of robots in dynamic, unstructured environments.

Driven by a passion for vision-based autonomous decision-making, I focus on challenges like multi-sensor integration, and perception, adaptive robot learning, navigation and path planning, dexterous manipulation, and motion control.

I am actively looking for research opportunities and collaborations. Please feel free to contact me for any research opportunity in autonomous robotics, and computer vision.

This Flag counter seemed fun to me. It shows flag counts from January 2024.
