Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShivin Dass is a PhD student in AI and Robotics at UT Austin with nine years of experience bridging research and applied systems in imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and robot planning. He has developed robust RL representations and teleoperative imitation approaches during research roles at USC’s CLVR lab and earlier worked on multi-agent path planning at IIIT-Delhi’s CORAL lab. A hands-on builder who co-founded an edtech startup, he pairs strong full-stack backend experience (Django, SQL) with deep learning research, enabling reproducible robot learning experiments. Known for rigorous academic training—BTech with honors from IIIT-Delhi and an MS from USC—he brings both theoretical depth and practical engineering to robotic autonomy projects.
