Hi, I'm Harsh Shah

Enjoying MS in Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University

My research interests primarily revolve around statistics and machine learning, with a particular focus on their intersection with robotics.

About Me

About Me

I am a graduate student pursuing Master's in Machine Learning program at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I love to involve myself with complex and interesting systems, and autonomous robots are no different.

Currently, I have been working in Auton Lab (advised by Jeff Schneider) with the self-driving group to improve language conditioned autonomous driving via evolutionary search on diffusion policies (more info here). (Demo).

Earlier, I use to lead Mars Rover Team at IITB, where we used make autonomous rovers to rule over unknown terrains.

Even now and then I work on building projects that interest me, and can find some of them in the projects section.

Hobbies

Love playing table tennis (a good player I am), which has helped me many other racket sports: squash, tennis, badminton.

Spent much of my spare time in childhood playing FPS games (CSGO, Valorant, Overwatch, etc.), and I am living in my childhood.

You defeat me in Super Mario, I give you a free hat.
