What's up, I'm Hrish Leen
Robot Learning
I’m a PhD student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I work with Prof. Animesh Garg at the People, AI & Robots Lab on robot learning. My research focuses on imbuing robots with physical intelligence, driven by a broader curiosity to understand the inner workings of the human brain.
Previously, I completed my undergraduate and master’s degrees at UC Berkeley, where I worked with Prof. Sergey Levine in the Robotic AI and Learning Lab.
