I am a PhD student in the Computer Science department at the University of Texas at Dallas. I work on computer vision and machine learning research problems with applications in robot perception & manipulation. I am associated with the Intelligent Robotics and Vision Lab and I am advised by Dr. Yu Xiang and Dr. B Prabhakaran . I spent four memorable years at IIT Kanpur from where I graduated with a bachelors degree in Mathematics and Scientific Computing from the department of Mathematics and Statistics. My current research work revolves around data driven robot manipulation. I am particularly interested in the problem of transferring grasps across grippers and development of robust computer vision and geometry based algorithms for grasping.

Apart from work, I am actively trying to wean myself from being obssesed about playing football (requested by my knees!) Efforts towards this goal include cooking, writing and becoming lazy with my physical fitness.
