I am a Senior Robotics Engineer at Dexterity focusing on GPU-first Reinforcement Learning Algorithms. I am part of the Compute Acceleration Team, where I focus on accelerated Machine Learning inference and developing custom CUDA kernels for geometric algorithms. I recently wrote about how we made Dexterity’s world-model perception 17x faster on NVIDIA GPUs: Dexterity Supercharges Foresight by 17x with NVIDIA.
Previously, I got my Ph.D. from Robotics Institute working in the RoboTouch Lab advised by Dr. Wenzhen Yuan and Dr. Ioannis Gkioulekas. The thesis was titled “A Modularized Approach to Vision-based Tactile Sensor Design Using Physics-based Rendering”.
Previously, I completed my masters in Robotics at CMU, advised by Dr. Katerina Fragkiadaki and Dr. Katharina Muelling. I received my B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur.
In my spare time I like contributing to open-source projects, running, hiking and exploring local art. Find my CV here.
