Hey, I'm Simar!

I'm a third year PhD student at Georgia Tech advised by Judy Hoffman! I also did my undergrad and masters at Georgia Tech (2018-2022). Along the way I've worked with Dhruv Batra, Sehoon Ha and Jacob Abernethy.


My research focuses on computer vision and robotics. I aim to develop skillful robots that adapt to ever changing environments. I develop algorithms for generalization and adaptation which leverage scalable data sources, from both simulation and reality.
