Aryan Naveen’s Academic Website
I am a PhD student at MIT, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Luca Carlone and Prof. Andreea Bobu, and supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My research lies at the intersection of spatial AI and embodied intelligence. I am interested in leveraging multimodal learning and task-driven perception to build actionable representations of the environment that enable robots to act intelligently and accomplish a wide array of downstream tasks.
Previously, I was an undergraduate at Harvard University studying Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, where I had the privilege of working with Prof. Robert J. Wood and Prof. Na Li.
