I am a third year graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland. I work under the supervision of Prof. Dana Nau.

Prior to this, I graduated with a B.Tech from the Computer Science & Engineering Department at IIT Madras, Chennai, India in 2009.

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in Artificial Intelligence, with emphasis on Automated Planning and Reinforcement Learning. I am currently working on designing a new hierarchical planning formalism and using it to build planning systems that can operate with partial domain knowledge, perform execution-time plan repair and many more interesting things.
