I'm a first year PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.
Robotics has always captivated me. Autonomous systems are at the forefront, but appropriate optimization and intelligent consideration of the tradeoffs involved can help these approaches reach their full potential. I am keen on exploring motion planning and control for dynamic multi-agent systems, with a special emphasis on safety, robustness, and human interactivity. I have worked on imitation learning for social navigation, control barrier functions, and coverage path planning in my past research experiences combining Control Theory, Machine Learning and Computer Vision.
I am pursuing graduate studies from Fall 2022 at DINaMo Group, MIT with Professor Hamsa Balakrishnan to strengthen my knowledge further and contribute to the research community. I aim to use a design-based approach backed by strong fundamentals, to help create a breakthrough in my field.
