Kavish Kondap : Goldwater Scholarship
Kavish Kondap (’28, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science) is passionate about imbuing robots with human-like intelligence. He currently works in Professor Ken Goldberg’s AUTOLab, applying cutting-edge machine learning techniques to enable robots to learn from their experiences. He hopes that his work will one day help replace human labor for dangerous or mundane tasks and provide fully autonomous assistants for home and industrial settings. Outside the lab, Kavish is passionate about teaching — he has served on course staff for CS61A, Berkeley’s largest CS course, and lectured for a student-run deep learning course. After graduation, he hopes to pursue a graduate degree in Robotics or Machine Learning, and push the boundaries of what machines can perceive, reason about, and do in the physical world.
