I am a research assistant at IIIT-Hyderabad, currently advised by Prof. K. Madhava Krishna (IIIT-Hyderabad) and Prof. Arun Kumar Singh (University of Tartu) in the Robotics lab (RRC), and Prof. Makarand Tapaswi (IIIT-Hyderabad) and Dr. Vladimir Petrik (CTU, Prague) in the Computer Vision lab (CVIT). I currently work at the intersection of generative models, robot learning, and video understanding.
I earned my Bachelor of Technology with honors in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from IIIT-Hyderabad, India. During my undergraduate years, I led various projects involving robotic manipulators, reinforcement learning, motion planning, and collision avoidance, under the guidance of Prof. K. Madhava Krishna.
Research Interests: My overarching aspiration is to contribute to the development of autonomous robotic agents that propel scientific advancement and enhance our daily lives. One of the major challenge in this pursuit involves the designing an agent that can adapt and generalize effectively to new situations by leveraging prior experience. In pursuit of this objective, my current research is centered on enhancing generalization in robot learning through the incorporation of structure and representation learning. Additionally, I am keenly interested in optimizing the utilization of the vast amounts of data available across various modalities.
