I worked on strategic routing and behavior planning in the field of robo-taxi. I have developed a stochastic framework for routing across various traffic scenarios. The framework allows the robotaxi to make strategic lane change decisions around various obstacles while minimizing the need for a major reroute.

San Jose, CA

As a part of NIO I developed a tactical decision making framework for motion planning using POMDP. The framework was geared towards decision making in highly uncertain and data sparse environment.

Stanford, CA

I worked as a Postdoctoral Scholar at SISL in Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. My research was on multiagent planning under uncertainty for autonomous driving. I designed a heirarchical framework for strategic and tactical decision making in autonomous driving using MDP and POMDP at different levels.

Austin, Texas Area

I worked at Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at University of Texas at Austin. My focus was on developing scalable algorithms for multirobot environments.

Athens, Georgia Area

Oak Ridge, TN

As a Summer Intern at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I had an opportunity to work on the Earth System Grid projects. My job was to integrate the web front end of ESG to the HPSS in order to access data for any user query.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Computer Science

My dissertation deals with individual decision making in complex multiagent settings as formalized by interactive partially observable.
