Building scientific superintelligence.
I build robotics and AI systems to advance scientific discovery.
A little about me
I'm the first hire at Warp Sciences, co-leading the robot learning effort. I'm building robots to automate scientific discovery, starting with small molecules.
Previously, I was a research engineer at 1X Technologies, contributing to Redwood AI and the 1X World Model. Before that, I was the first hire and founding research engineer at General Robotics. I led sim2real reinforcement learning and technical business development, working across humanoids, quadrupeds, and manipulator arms. I hold an MS in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University.
The earlier chapters
My first taste of startup life was at Preimage, working on 3D reconstruction. Before that, I was a visiting researcher at the CLVR Lab, USC, working on continual skill learning, and a research assistant at SUTD, working on vision language models.
My path into AI started during my B.Tech (with honors) at IIIT-Delhi. I got my first taste of robotics with the ALIVE autonomous driving team, interned at the SUTD Brain Lab working on representation learning and at NUS working on medical robotics, and spent much of my undergrad buried in research.
Learning to act
in the real world
All publications
1X World Model
Contributed to a generative world model that predicts how robot actions shape what happens next.
Humanoid Skill Learning
Human-inspired whole-body humanoid control for scene interaction via guided diffusion.
Agentic Robotics
Design principles and model abilities for agentic architectures in robotics.
Always curious
Outside of work, I'm endlessly curious about physics, into football and tennis, and always looking for a great meal. You can find my food adventures on Beli.
Good work starts with a conversation.
