Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaunak Bhattacharyya is an Assistant Professor at the Yardi School of Artificial Intelligence, IIT Delhi, specializing in decision making under uncertainty for autonomous systems. He brings eight years of research experience spanning postdoctoral work at the Oxford Robotics Institute and a PhD from Stanford where he developed deep reinforcement learning and system-identification approaches for driver modeling and autonomous driving validation. His work blends theoretical tools from Markov Decision Processes and metacognition with practical robot mission planning and human–robot shared autonomy, reflecting a rare combination of formal modeling and real-world robotics. With dual MS degrees in Computer Science and Aerospace Engineering and early industry experience in simulation and control software, he navigates both aerospace and AI domains fluently. Notably, his research emphasizes learning from demonstration to build realistic human behavior models for safer, certifiable autonomy.
