I am currently a researcher in the Autonomous Systems group at Microsoft. I focus on the development of efficient perception and planning algorithms for robotics, particularly through robust neural networks, representation learning and bridging the simulation-reality gap.

I received my PhD from the Texas A&M University, where I was part of the Unmanned Systems Lab headed by Srikanth Saripalli. My PhD thesis focused on collaborative localization and uncertainty-aware navigation for groups of micro aerial vehicles. I also worked on applying computer vision and machine learning to autonomous aerial/ground vehicle research and medical robotics applications. Prior to that, I received my MS from the Arizona State University. During these years, as part of the Extreme Environment Robotics Lab, I worked on the design and development of various robotic platforms and sensory networks.
