Athrva Pandhare

I am a graduate student at University of Pennsylvania specializing in Robotics. I completed my undergraduate studies in Aerospace Engineering where I specialized in Computational Fluid Dynamics.

My interests lie within the areas of Autonomous Exploration, Robot navigation, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), Computer Vision and Machine Learning.

I am also a Student Researcher at the Kumar Robotics Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. I work in the field of Learning based Autonomous Exploration, and Applications of Deep Learning in Visual SLAM.
