About me:
I am a graduate student at the Robotics
Institute at Carnegie Mellon Univ. and am currently in my fifth year
of the Robotics Ph.D.
program.
Before coming to CMU, I got an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi (IITD), India. I also have a Master's degree from the Mech. Engg. department at CMU.
I work at the Field Robotics Center (FRC), and the National Robotics Engineering Consortium (NREC), two of the many laboratories at the Robotics Institute.

Here's my CV - with my resume and publications and stuff.... (In case you'd like a copy of my resume, here it is in pdf and ps formats)
A random collection of pictures/links and facts:
Links/Pictures from some of the projects I've worked on. (Click on the thumbnails for larger versions)
DanteII: During the summer of 1994 it was deployed in an active volcano in Alaska (Mt. Spurr).
Lunar Rover Initiative: This is a program at FRC to send a rover to the moon, the rover development and launch being funded only by commercial interests.
Autonomous Loading System: This is my latest project, and will be the basis of my thesis research. It is a project funded by Caterpillar Inc. and involves developing technologies for autonomous mass excavation.
I started practising Ashtanga Yoga a couple of years ago. I take yoga classes in Pittsburgh at the Yoga Sadhana Studio in the South Side.
Most Indian names have a meaning. My name means "a flute" (Yup! The musical instrument...)
