Projects | CV | Robots

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Yale University, advised by Prof. Brian Scassellatti at the Yale Social Robotics Lab. I am interested in exploring Human Robot collaboration in the context of industrial robots. My areas of interest are Robotics, Computer Vision and Embedded System Design.

Previously, I was a Masters student of Computer Science at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I was working as a Graduate Research Assistant on my Masters Thesis at Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics, under Prof. Rod Grupen.

I earned my BS in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology, India where I focused on Embedded System Design and built robots.

I have enjoyed working at Technical University of Dresden (Germany), Nanyang Technological University, (Singapore) and Siemens Corporate Technology, (Munich, Germany).

I have been involved in projects in the domain of Robotics, Ubiquitous Computing, Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Computer Vision. Additionally, I am interested in the manipulation and control of robots in chaotic environments and design of UAVs.

In my free time, I enjoy travelling, photography and cooking.
