I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. I work with the Brains In Silicon group under Prof. Kwabena Boahen, and with the Manips group under Prof. Oussama Khatib.

Previously, I worked as a Software Design Engineer with Microsoft India R&D. Prior to that, I obtained a Bachelors of Technology degree in Information Technology (with honors) at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad.

I hold an active interest in the fields of Robotics, Machine Learning and Neuroscience. I am presently working to understand and model neural muscular control, rhythmic movement-pattern generation, and neural reinforcement learning in a part of the motor control system called the basal ganglia. I am also building a model of the human musculoskeletal system to be used for human motion analysis and reconstruction.
