I am a second-year Ph.D. candidate at Cornell University, where I work with Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee on building caregiving robots that can assist individuals with activities of daily living.

Before Cornell, I received my bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, where I worked with Prof. P. P. Chakrabarti on multi-agent pathfinding. Over the summers, I had the pleasure of working with Prof. Maxim Likhachev at Carnegie Mellon University, with the Office 365 Ecosystem Team at Microsoft India, and with Prof. Siddhartha Srinivasa at University of Washington.
