ABOUT
I am the founding engineer at Optica Industries, building the next American Metal Company. We are backed by Lightspeed & Neo. If you are interested in joining, reach out.
I am a part of Neo and scout pre-seed startups for Clay VC. Previously, I worked on Robot Learning and MLOps at Persona AI to build Industrial Humanoids and researched Video Understanding powering Petabyte-scale Video Datasets for Frontier AI Labs at Sieve Data.
My current research interest is World Modelling, particularly using JEPAs. I research Multimodal JEPAs with Randall Balesteiero and Vivek Boominathan. Previously, I worked on Colloidal Robotics at the MIT Media Lab, and Li/Na-ion batteries at the Ajayan Group & IIT Guwahati.
