Shagun Uppal

I am a Robotics research engineer at Skild AI building general purpose embodied intelligence. Prior to this, I did my MS in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Deepak Pathak.

I graduated from IIIT Delhi with a B.Tech in Computer Science working with Saket Anand and Pavan Turaga. I was also fortunate to work with Joseph Lim as a visiting researcher at the CLVR Lab at University of Southern California.

Off the research clock, I like to slip back into the things I loved growing up—writing poetry, painting, staring at the night sky, and reading way too much about astronomy (I’m an astrophile!).
