I am an PhD student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, being advised by Saurabh Gupta. I did my undergrad and Master's degree at MIT. I study machine vision, robotics and reinforcement learning. I am interested in developing agents which can effectively interact with the world around them in a safe and intelligent manner. I am focusing on classical robotic methods combined with reinforcement learning, and methods for utilizing human demonstrations, or other offline data, for enhancing robotic p
My research is funded through National Science Foundation, DARPA Machine Common Sense Program, NASA, USDA/NSF AIFARMS National AI Institute, and Amazon.
