I am a product of the time, effort and mentorship the following accomplished people have expended on me. I am and will always be eternally grateful to them
Till very recently, I was a graduate student in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, working on the Autonomoose research project. I worked on Behaviour Planning for Autonomous Driving, specializing in Reinforcment Learning, Deep Learning and Computer Vision under Dr. Czarnecki and Dr. Waslander.
Previously, I have worked on Deep Learning for 3D Vision at ETH Zurich’s Autonomous Systems Lab under Prof. Roland Siegwart, Marius Fehr, Thomas Schneider and Marcin Dymczyk on Google X’s Project Tango.
For the summer of 2016, I had the great fortune of working at the Center for Advanced Computing Research (now Center for Data Driven Discovery) at Caltech under the mentorship of ex-Director and current Principal Scientist, Dr. Mark Stalzer.
During the summer of 2015, I was a Google Summer of Code participant and worked with Harvard University’s Professor Tom Aldcroft, Dr. Jean Connelly and Dr. Thomas Robitaille and designed AstroPython, currently the world’s most popular website for using Python in Astronomy.
I completed my undergraduate as a gold-medalist in Computer Science and Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology,India. During my stay as an undergraduate, I was grateful that I was awarded the MITACS Globalink Fellowship (the highest undergraduate research honor awarded by the Canadian government) as well as the International SURF Fellowship by CalTech. I am thankful to Dr. Mustafi for his extensive research support during my undergrad.
