I'm an incoming MSR student at CMU RI this Fall! (2024)
I am currently a Research Associate at the Robotics Research Center (RRC), IIIT Hyderabad advised by Prof. Madhava Krishna. Previously, I was a research intern at IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati. Apart from research, I have participated in national and international robotics competitions. I completed my Bachelors from Manipal Institute of Technology in Mechatronics

My research interest revolves around the robot learning problem. My goal is to create generalist agents that learn from prior experience and adapt to new tasks without task-specific training data. Humans effortlessly do tasks like pouring tea, cooking dinner, or folding clothes. I foresee an "ideal robotic system" to not only mimic humans in complex real world tasks, but out-perform them.

I aim to work towards the following directions:
1. Develop scalable algorithms to train end-to-end policies on offline data and fine-tune them across real-world tasks and embodiments
2. Study the pros and cons of current approaches to understand what contributes to generalized robot intelligence.
3. Deploy versatile robots to aid humans in need, perform household tasks, and function in hazardous environments.
