I am a MS by Research student at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H). I am advised by Professor C V Jawahar and Professor Vinay Namboodiri at the Center for Visual Information Technology (CVIT) Lab. I am also advised by Professor K. Madhav Krishna and Professor Srinath Sridhar at the Robotics Research Center (RRC).
Before IIIT-H, I was a Data Scientist at Microsoft, India. I led the recommendation and suggestion team for the world’s biggest enterprise facing email client - Outlook. These features are used by more than 100 million users per month, my hunch is that you might have seen some of them!
I am also a musician, I sing and play guitar. I have toured and performed at several places with my previous band, Andrometa. I also tried my hands out travel vlogging and YouTubing! My brother is a (really awesome) piano player and has taken over the channel now - find them here!. I also love traveling. In 2018, I travelled solo to 6 countries, 13 states and interviewed 128 independent musicians!
Research Interest
My interest lies at the intersection of 3D computer vision and Robotics. Specifically, I am interested in designing improved representations of the 3D world to enable embodied agents acquire a holistic view of the world. This way, an agent can make better-informed control decisions for achieving a given downstream goal, for example, manipulation or autonomous navigation.
Today, most works rely on explicit representation forms like pointclouds or voxel-based representations. But they are limiting in many ways - they are high dimensional, discrete, and, most importantly, incomplete – they do not sense the underlying structure and only capture explicit values at specific locations. I am more interested in implicit representations of the world and how to design improved task-specific representations. Ultimately, I am excited to see embodied AI become a part of the real world and seamlessly integrate with humans!
