About me

Hi! I am Anusha, a Master's student in Computer Science at Purdue University. I do research at the CAMP Lab, where I work with Dr. Joseph Campbell. I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Intelligence and a minor in Philosophy, also from Purdue.

My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics. I am actively seeking research or research-oriented industry internship opportunities for Summer 2026. If you are interested in collaborating or exploring potential academic/professional opportunities, I would love to hear from you!

Outside of research, I enjoy discussing philosophical ideas, reading, volunteering, and diving into pop culture. I am always happy to connect and talk about anyhting!

Current Projects

My current research focuses on modeling human behavior through intention prediction using egocentric data. We are working with the Aria glasses, a wearable device that captures rich multimodal information from a first-person aka human point of view. In addition to leveraging existing data, we aim to create our own dataset that captures everday routines and allows us to identify meaningful behavioral patterns from it. Our goal is to develop explainable AI systems that can infer intentions in dynamic environments, bridging the gap between open-world perception and closed-world reasoning.

Our work has potential applications in robotics, assistive technologies, wearable tech, and human-AI collaboration, especially in real-world settings where anticipating human actions is critical for safe and intelligent interactions.

Here's a link to my blog, where I explore my creative and philosophical interests. [currently inactive]

When I am not buried in books, I volunteer my time at the LTHC Homeless Shelter and with the American Heart Association (AHA), my way of giving back to society with as much love and care as I can.

If you have made it this far, thank you for reading and please feel free to say hello!
