Hi There!

I am Parth Kothari, a second year PhD working at the Visual Intelligence for Transport (VITA) lab at EPFL. I work under the supervision of Prof. Alexandre Alahi, broadly in the field of understanding human motion behavior, with focus on social forecasting in autonomous vehicles. I got my undergraduate degree in Electrical Enginerring from (IIT Bombay).
