+Avigyan is currently pursuing a Master's in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University after graduating with a Bachelor's in Computer Science from Jadavpur University, India. He is interested in developing perception systems that are robust and efficient through both classical machine learning methods and modern deep learning techniques. Currently, his research focuses on how to apply foundational models like LLMs/VLMs in robotics and address challenges in scene understanding and interactive navigation.
+
+Previously, Avigyan was a Research Fellow in AI at IIT Bombay for a year before coming to CMU, working on the problem of Domain Generalization in Computer Vision using VLMs. He was also a Research Associate in the Responsible AI working group of [GPAI](https://gpai.ai/) in a social media content moderation project related to AI governance.
