I am a 4th year Robotics Ph.D Student at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) at Georgia-Tech. I am working with Dr. Charles C. Kemp at the Healthcare Robotics Lab. My primary research interests are in the fields of Haptic Perception, Tactile Sensing, Machine Learning and Controls. As a part of my work, I also actively collaborate with Dr. James M. Rehg and Dr. Lena H. Ting.
During my Ph.D, I have also done multiple internships with Disney Research, Los Angeles where I worked with Dr. Günter Niemeyer on developing bio-inspired control strategies for effective human-robot interaction.
I did my B. Tech from National Institute of Technology-Calicut (NIT-Calicut). During my Junior and Senior years, I worked on the design and development of a Mobile Robot which avoids obstacles and the simulation of a cricket-playing robot using neural networks and fuzzy logic. After my B.Tech, I worked in TAL Manufacturing Solutions Ltd. (A TATA Motors subsidiary) on the design of an industrial pick-and-place robot and providing robotic and factory-automation solutions.
