Nakul Agarwal

I am a Machine Learning Research Engineer at Honda Research Institute, USA working on challening problems related to computer vision and machine learning with application to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), autonomous navigation and robotics.

I graduated with a M.S. degree in EECS from UC Merced where I was working in the Vision and Learning Lab under the supervision of Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang. Prior to joining UC Merced as a graduate student, I worked with Prof. C. V. Jawahar and Prof. Vineeth N. Balasubramaniam at Centre for Visual Information Technology in IIIT Hyderabad, India. I received my B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) degree from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, University of Delhi in 2016.
