I am now a NIH-funded postdoctoral scholar.

I recently graduated (September, 2006) with a PhD (advised by Jean-Claude Latombe) from Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab. Prior to that, I obtained a BS degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur (2001). During my PhD, I focused on Robot Motion Planning, developing new motion planners based on Probabilistic Roadmaps for planning guaranteed collision-free paths, multi-goal tours, paths in difficult and high-dimensional configuration spaces, and robotic manipulation of deformable objects (knot-tying). For the next few years I would like to focus on the applications of motion planning techniques in computational structural biology and computer-graphics (digital-actors).
