I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Roberto Martín-Martín and am part of the Robot Interactive Intelligence (RobIn) lab. I am passionate about developing general-purpose, deployable robots in the wild. Broadly, my interests lie in perception and manipulation for robotics, and developing intelligent behaviour through interaction.

Previously, I finished my MS in Computer Science from Columbia University, advised by Prof. Shuran Song, and my undergraduate from the Indian Institute of Information Technology - Allahabad (IIIT-A), advised by Prof. G. C. Nandi.

I also love to play tennis, basketball, music and to snowboard.
