I am a second year PhD student (as of Summer 2012) in the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin. I received my undergraduate degree at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in Computer Science and Engineering in 2009 and my Masters degree at UT Austin in 2011.

I am a member of the Learning Agents Research Group under the guidance of Peter Stone. I am interested in working on the practical applications of artificial intelligence through robotics. I hope to use a large number of small and simple robots to aid people in everyday environments.

In the past, I have been the primary instructor of CS 378 - Autonomous Vehicles in Traffic for three semesters.
