I am a final year undergraduate student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur . My research interests lie at the intersection of human robot interaction and robot learning .
Currently, I work with Prof. Siddhartha Srinavasa and Christoforos Mavrogiannis at the University of Washington, on social navigation. My work is mainly on ensuring human safety and comfort in crowd navigation scenarios. I am also exploring how does human motion prediction affect robot control, grounding my work with real-world trials on the Honda P.A.T.H Bot .
