I completed my Ph.D. at the Department of Computer Science at UT Austin, advised by Dr. Kristen Grauman. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision and reinforcement learning. My primary research has focused on learning intelligent behaviors for embodied robotic agents and AR assistants. More broadly, I am also interested in leveraging self-supervision for learning useful representations, both in the context of image representations and higher-level representations of 3D spaces, and learning useful priors from human behavior for enhancing embodied agents. I completed a one-year PostDoc with Dr. Vladlen Koltun at Apple Inc. I am currently working as a Research Scientist at Apple Inc.

Before joining UT Austin in 2017, I completed my integrated B.Tech and M.Tech in Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras. I was jointly advised by Dr. Anurag Mittal and Dr. Gaurav Sharma for my M.Tech thesis.
