Hello! I was a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin between Fall 2004 and Fall 2011. I was advised by Peter Stone, who leads the Learning Agents Research Group. After defending my thesis, I have moved back home to India. Currently I work as a scientist at Yahoo! Labs Bangalore. Here is a copy of my CV.
