I am a master’s graduate from the University of Bonn. I wrote my master thesis at the Photogrammetry and Robotics Lab with Dr. Marija Popović and Prof. Dr. Cyrill Stachniss in the area of vision language model based perception, uncertainty quantification, metric-semantic mapping and planning for household robots. Before that, I spent a semester working on robotics simulation, RL and sim2real at the Embodied AI team at Huawei Munich. Before coming to Germany, I worked as a founding employee and assistant manager of the robotics focused VC and startup accelerator IHFC. Previously to which, I worked on model predictive control as an intern at IIT Delhi with Prof. S.K. Saha, which followed over from my work on building delivery drones at SRMUAV.

I am passionate about working on architectures for cognition and learning in perception, prediction and decision making tasks. My current research interests revolve around RL, generative models, differentiable simulation, AI-interpretability and neuro-inspired architectures to AI.

Currently seeking research roles in the AI/Robotics space.
