Varun Aggarwal's work spans two main areas: using drones (UAS), ground robots, and deep learning to detect and manage crop diseases and weeds in agriculture, and building automated systems for assessing human skills, such as scoring video interviews, emails, programming exercises, and speech. Earlier work also touches on memristors (a type of electronic memory component) and educational technology. The overall focus is on applying machine learning and sensing technologies to practical detection and assessment problems.
