Hi, I'm Vihaan!

I am a second-year PhD in Robotics student at Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in the Bot-Intelligence Group. I did my bachelors in electrical engineering with a minor in AI at the Netaji Subhas University of Technology. Prior to that, I have also worked in Research Groups at Mercedes-Benz R&D University of Alberta, University of Miami, IIIT-H and IIIT-D as a Researcher. I am interested in multimodal generative-AI, creative-AI and robotics. I enjoy creating scalable & elegant deep learning modules that also have a real world impact. In particular, I am creating AI tools that generate visual content using foundational models that leverage elementary skills such as language, sounds, emotions and decisions as input.
