Bio

I'm a final year student at Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad currently pursuing my bachelors in Electrical Engineering. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision and robotics. Perception is an essential component of any autonomous system, enabling it to understand its environment and make informed decisions to accomplish its tasks. Additionally, I am intrigued by the wide applications of language models, specifically in robotics. Currently, VLMs and LLMs have gained significant popularity, and I believe they can be used to plan complex robot tasks, help robots interpret instructions and interact with humans. To this end, I am keen to work on perception tasks that integrate environmental understanding and human interaction and leverage foundational models to enhance robots' ability to visualize their surroundings and execute tasks effectively.I have done many projects in computer vision, deep learning and have also worked on research projects related to them. Research, to me, means advancing the frontiers of human knowledge and I am excited about it. The prospect of finding something unknown to the world and having useful applications drives me. Robots are the future and the world is moving towards automation, I aim to be at the forefront of this move. Apart from that, I am an avid reader who likes to get engrossed in fiction books and also dive into my world of deep thoughts on current-world issues and metaphysics. Always on the lookout for great collaborations! Please feel free to contact me at my email-id if you have any interesting ideas or for possible research projects.
