I’m a Ph.D. student at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University. I work with Dr. Matthew Travers, in The Matt Lab and Biorobotics lab. In Summer 2026, I was a Robotics Research Intern at Multiply Labs working with Dr. Jiuguang Wang on uncertainty-aware manipulation tasks. I was awarded the Uber Presidential Fellowship at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University for the 2026–2027 academic year.
My current research focuses on mainly two things:
- Interaction-aware Motion Planning: Developing algorithms that reason about robot-environment interactions to navigate realistic complex environments
- Uncertainty-aware Active Perception: Developing strategies for robots to actively reduce environmental uncertainty through targeted sensing actions

I also completed my Masters in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University. Before that, I worked under Prof. Rajasekar Mohan in the Microsoft Innovation Lab at PES University, Bengaluru and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
I was also running a YouTube Channel, All About Robots where I used to create simple tutorial videos on Robotics and Robot Building (currently inactive). My other hobbies include cooking, playing FPS games, astronomy, video editing and mobile photography.
