I am a PhD student in Computer Science at UT Austin working with Prof. Kristen Grauman. I was a visiting researcher at Facebook AI Research from 2021-23. My interest lies at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning and robotics. In my PhD, I work on learning object-centric representations for robotic manipulation. Through the study of artificial intelligence, I hope to form a better understanding of the very nature of human intelligence and existence.

Prior to joining grad school, I worked with Prof. Venkatesh Babu as a research assistant at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) on a wide range of vision problems including 3D model reconstruction, computational photography, and 3D human motion models. I also spent a couple of months during Summer 2019 as a visiting researcher with Prof. Michael Black at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tuebingen, Germany.

Previously, I graduated from BITS Pilani, India with a double major in Computer Science and Physics in 2017. During my undergrad years, I interned at INRIA Saclay, France (as part of my undergraduate thesis), Amazon and Wikimedia Foundation (as part of Google Summer of Code).
