Hi! I’m Bhargava, and my research interests lie at the intersection of generative modeling and reinforcement learning for general-purpose robotics applications. I’m currently a Research Assistant at Mila advised by Prof. Glen Berseth, where I currently work on using foundation models to scale data for training generalist robot policies.

Prior to this, I worked with LLMs/VLMs in industry for a couple of years. In a past life, I was an undergrad in Electronics engineering at BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus. Here, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Prof. Pratyush Chakraborty and Prof. Paresh Saxena in reinforcement learning, curriculum learning, and autonomous driving research.

Feel free to contact me by email to chat anything research!
