I am a Robotics Researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge. I work on datacenter robotics, specifically on enabling robots to perform manipulation tasks in constrained environments like datacenters.

I recently graduated with a PhD from LASA, EPFL. My doctoral thesis targets impact-aware non-prehensile manipulation — endowing robots with the ability to hit objects to place them at a desired location outside the reachable workspace of the robot. I am interested in the intersection of robotics, control, and optimization.

I completed my Masters in Robotics at ETH Zurich, working on model predictive control for morphing quadrotors, human interaction with quadrotors, simulator design for quadrotors, and physics-based simulation for 3D painting.

My undergraduate degree was in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Delhi.
