I am a Research Assistant Professor with the Robotics Institute and National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC), both part of School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University. I am also an adjunct faculty at the Computer and Information Science department at University of Pennsylvania and a member of the GRASP laboratory. Research: My general research interests lie in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. More specifically, they currently cover planning in deterministic and probabilistic domains and machine learning. So far, my research has been mainly motivated by the problem of fast and intelligent decision making by autonomous robotic systems in real-world environments. I do get easily motivated, however, by other interesting problems in AI. During my 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship at CMU, I worked with Tony Stentz on multi-agent planning with adversaries. During the same time, I have also worked on the design and implementation of a complex maneuvers planner for the CMU vehicle that won the Urban Challenge race (the third DARPA Grand Challenge). During my Ph.D. studies at CMU, my advisors were Geoff Gordon and Sebastian Thrun (presently at Stanford). Before enrolling into the Ph.D. program at CMU I have been a graduate student for two years in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech where I worked with Ronald Arkin at Mobile Robot Laboratory and Sven Koenig. |
