I am a postdoctoral researcher at Dr. Azlan's group at Texas A&M University, where I am working on robotics and computer vision applications for controlled environment agriculture and green-houses. Previously, I worked as postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Lirong Xiang's Automation and Robotics lab at North Carolina State University, where my work focused upon robotic perception, manipulation, and path planning, for various practical applications such as automatic seedling transplanting and plant genotyping using robotic arms. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at IIT Kanpur's CSE department, working on Robust Grasp Strategies for Robotic Bin-picking. My doctoral research advisers were Laxmidhar Behera and Tushar Sandhan. I completed my BTech (Computer Science & Engineering) and MTeach (Information & Communication Technology) at IIT Jodhpur and have previously worked as a software engineer at Samsung R&D.

My doctoral research were focused upon developing innovative and reliable robotic grasping stretegies for automated object picking for practical scenerios such as warehouse automation. My work aims to address the significant challenge of fully automated picking of novel objects in dense cluttered piles, enabling more efficient and reliable manipulation of objects by robots. For a quick overview of the my bin-picking works, please have a look at the experimental video which was published at IEEE-TASE.

Previously, my work Towards Object Agnostic and Robust 4-DoF Table-Top Grasping was selected as the finalist for best student paper award in IEEE International Confrence CASE 2022.
