Anish is a PhD student at GRASP with Professors Nikolai Matni and Vijay Kumar. He aims to improve real robot agility and ability with novel perception and learning techniques. This has led to a strong focus in improving sim-to-real transfer for various vision-based methods, ranging from neural generative rendering to end-to-end quadrotor flight.
Prior to joining GRASP, he completed a Robotics MS with Professor Sebastian Scherer at Carnegie Mellon University, where he developed full-stack autonomy for and studied visual servoing of aerial robots in the field. He holds a Electrical Engineering BS from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
