About Me
Ph.D. Student
Perception and Robotics Group
Computer Science
I am a third year Ph.D. student and a Dean's Fellow in the Perception & Robotics Group (PRG) at University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), advised by Prof. Yiannis Aloimonos and Dr. Cornelia Fermuller. PRG is associated with the University of Maryland Institute of Advanced Computer Science Studies (UMIACS) and Autonomy, Robotics and Cognition Lab (ARC).
Interests: Active perception and deep learning applications to boost multi-robot interaction and navigation ability in aerial robots.
Prior to pursuing Ph.D., I did my Masters in Robotics at UMD where I worked on active behaviour of aerial robots and published GapFlyt where we used motion cues of the aerial agent to detect an unknown-shaped gap using a monocular camera. Apart from research work, I love to teach! I, along with Nitin J. Sanket designed and taught an open-source graduate course: ENAE788M (Hands-On Autonomous Aerial Robotics) at UMD in Fall 2019. In my spare time, I love to capture nature on my camera, especially landscape and wildlife photographs; watch and play competitive video games — Counter Strike and Dota 2.
