Hi There!

I am Parth Kothari, a person travelling through the various experience of life, hand-in-hand with my cutie wife. Currently, I am working at Google, Zurich in the Graph Neural Networks team. Before joining Google, I did a PhD at the Visual Intelligence for Transport (VITA) lab at EPFL, under the supervision of Prof. Alexandre Alahi. During my PhD, I researched broadly in the field of understanding human motion behavior, with focus on social forecasting in autonomous vehicles. I got my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from (IIT Bombay).
