I am an Applied Scientist at Amazon Robotics in Seattle focusing on perception and planning for robot manipulation. I was a PhD student in the Computer Science department at the University of Texas at Dallas and worked on CV/ML research with applications in robot perception & manipulation. I was associated with the Intelligent Robotics and Vision Lab and advised by Dr. Yu Xiang. 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.
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 (task successfully executed!).
