I love the intersection of Robotics & Artificial Intelligence. Currently, my research is focused on Multi-Agent Systems. I am working with Prof Aniket Bera at IDEAS Lab, Purdue University.
I am thrilled about the future where open source will lead every breakthrough in technological advancement.
I like to write about the things I learn.
