I am an AI and autonomous transportation researcher, currently working as a Machine Learning Software Engineer at Google Research. My team, SpaceTime, focuses on optimizing urban transportation networks. Before Google, I led research at Lacuna Technologies, creating algorithms and products for traffic and curbside management.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science, specializing in Artificial Intelligence, from Stanford University. There, I collaborated with Professors Mykel Kochenderfer and Jeannette Bohg and conducted award-winning research on multi-robot coordination algorithms. My work supports technologies like integrating delivery drones with ground vehicles. For more on my research, check out this BBC Digital Planet episode (around the 14-minute mark) or this VentureBeat article.
I hold a Master's from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute. I was part of the Personal Robotics Lab, advised by Professor Siddhartha Srinivasa (now at the University of Washington). I developed motion planning algorithms tested on HERB, the lab's robotic butler. Before that, I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
I am the immensely proud younger brother of Sanjiban Choudhury, who has shaped my understanding of research, robotics, and many other more important things.
