Hello, I’m currently an Independent Researcher working on interesting projects either in collaboration or individually. Prior to this, I was a researcher at the Robotics Research Center (RRC), IIIT Hyderabad, where I focused on robotic perception under the guidance of Prof. K. Madhava Krishna and Dr. Sourav Garg. Along the way, I also explored generative modeling and drone navigation.

I completed my undergraduate studies in Electronics and Communications Engineering at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad, where I wrote my bachelor’s thesis on Multi-Agent SLAM.

Research Interests

My research explores how AI can learn from diverse data, experiences(self/others), and representations to build agents that can understand(perceive), reason, and adapt to novel situations and move toward human-like generalization in complex real-world environments.

As part of this, I work under a broad range of topics like Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, Representation Learning, etc.
