I’m a final year undergraduate student at BITS Pilani pursuing a BE in Computer Science. I’m currently pursuing my undergraduate thesis at R-PAD Lab, Carnegie Mellon Univeristy co-advised by Prof. David Held and Prof. Zackory Erickson where I’m working on robot learning for deformable object manipulation. I’m broadly interested in robots that can learn to do interesting things.

Previously, I worked under the supervision of Prof. Sougata Sen at SenseLab, where I tinkered with ESP’s for spatial localisation. Last summer, I worked at DevRev.ai as a software development intern.

When I’m not wondering about the meaning of life, you can find me dancing, reading or playing badminton!
