I am in this picture.
Hi Hello.
I am a robotics engineer and a soon-to-be Ph.D. student in robotics.
My research interests lie at the intersection of robot autonomy, localization and mapping, and visual understanding for navigation and decision making. I am broadly interested in estimation problems, machine learning, and inference, in aerial, ground, and manipulation domains.
I spend most of my time at the lab or on the track– here’s me trying to jump far:
Updates
- August 2022
- Future me will be joining Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute as a Ph.D. student.
- August 2021
- I have joined Indoor Robotics as a Robotics Algorithm Engineer.
- June 2021
- I have graduated from MIT with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, with a minor in Mathematics.
Feel free to Contact me! For professional inquiries, you are invited to my professional profile.

DELSE: Deforming Ellipsoids for object Shape Estimation
It is often important for robots to know the location and shape of objects. However, this task can be a bit tricky! Many times robots can only obtain partial observations due to self-occlusions or occlusions in the scene. In this project (which is approximately equivalent to half of an undergraduate senior- year research project, with… Read more DELSE: Deforming Ellipsoids for object Shape Estimation →
