Hi! I’m Varun Giridhar. I’m interested in all things robotics. Over the years, I’ve had a wide breadth of experiences:

  • Vision on agricultural robots :corn:
  • Multi-agent drone systems :airplane:
  • Self-driving cars :car:

I’m currently a researcher in PAIR Lab working under Prof. Animesh Garg. My current focus is in findings ways to make robots solve complex tasks, which often require learned dexterous manipulations :mechanical_arm:.

Outside of work and academics, I like to play :soccer: and read books (check out my reading list here).
