About Me
I am currently a Ph.D. Student in Computer Science at Clarkson University, Potsdam, New York. My advisers are Prof. Sean Banerjee and Prof. Natasha Banerjee. Before joining Clarkson, I received my master’s degree in computer science at Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, where I was advised by Prof. Robert Platt. I also worked in the mechanical engineering field for many years with a master of science in mechanical engineering.
My research interest is robotics and deep learning with a focus on multimodal perception, planning, control, and manipulation, especially from an interdisciplinary perspective of software and hardware.
