I am a Masters graduate in Computer Science from Cornell University and completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Science and Engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT, Vellore) India. Currently, I work as a Robotics and AI Engineer at Festo.

My research interests lie in improving the robustness of autonomous systems and robots in real-world environments. I am particularly interested in task-specific hybrid decision-making approaches that combine learning-based methods with classical planning and control to maintain reliable task performance under dynamic environmental changes, sensor noise, and unexpected disruptions. I always look forward to connecting with people having similar interests and exciting project ideas! You can reach out to me at pr376[at]cornell[dot]edu.
