I am currently working as a Research Associate under the guidance of M. Hanmandlu, IIT Delhi. Previously, I held the position of Research Associate 2 at the I3D lab of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, guided by Pradipta Biswas, focusing on human-robot interaction. I completed my undergraduate studies at RIT, Kottayam, specializing in Electronics and Communication Engineering. During my time at RIT, I was as an Undergraduate Researcher at the Centre for Advanced Signal Processing (CASP lab) under mentorship of Manju Manuel, where I worked on FPGA design and implementation..

Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of reinforcement learning and robotic perception, focusing on developing systems capable of operating in unstructured, human-centric environments while formulating policies for safe and efficient human collaboration.
