About Me:

I am a Masters of Science in Robotics student at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University advised by Prof. Katia Sycara and Prof. George Kantor. My research interests span Spatiotemporal modelling and prediction with Bayesian Neural Networks, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning with Graph Neural Networks, and Active Learning with Gaussian Processes. Prior to coming to CMU, I completed my undergraduate studies from IIT Kanpur, India. I am also a recepient of the prestigious S.N. Bose Scholarship under which I carried out a summer internship at Personal Robotics Lab, CMU headed by Prof. Siddhartha Srinivasa. Check out my CV for a detailed description of my research experience and projects.
