I am a PhD student at the University of Washington advised by Byron Boots.

I want to develop robots that can perform useful tasks by operating in complex environments with and without humans. I am interested in combining classical and learning based methods to develop efficient algorithms for robots so that they can leverage structure in the world and adapt to new scenarios from data and interaction.

Before this I spent a (2 + 2i) (COVID :') years at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur where I majored in Electrical Engineering. I was part of the Aerial Robotics team and that's how I started my tryst with Robotics.
