Biography

:wave: Hello! My name is Ganesh and I’m in my final year as a Master of Computer Science student at the University of Virginia. I am a graduate researcher at UVA’s Collaborative Robotics Lab, where I explore the intersection of machine learning, robotics, and human interaction. In my personal research, I run experiments to assess the viability and safety of ML approaches to human problems such as bot detection, medical image analysis, and character recognition.

My other interests include playing frisbee and watching horror movies. I captain my school’s ultimate frisbee team and am currently building its website here! I occasionally build and fly model airplanes as well. Feel free to reach out to my email with any questions you have or just to chat.
