About Me
Success is no Accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
I am a Ph.D. Robotics student at Oregon State University. Currently, my research is on motion planning for a multi-robot system. Cooperative manipulation, fleet management, junction congestion are some of the interesting topics to me.
I have completed my undergraduate from BITS Pilani University, India majoring in MSc. (Hons.) Physics and B.E (Hons.) Electronics and Communications. Forming and leading a team of 21 members along with couple of my batchmates to participate in Robocon,16 was the best time of my undergrad life. We designed and prototyped a robot capable of climbing a pole for this competition.
During my early professional days, I got an opportunity to be a part of MillionEyes, which is an early-stage healthcare startup. Towards the start of COVID-19 pandemic, given the limited knowledge about this relatively unknown disease, we recognized that it will be useful to have an online predictor that can estimate the likelihood of someone having contracted COVID. I closely worked with the team of doctors where we had design a rule based predictor. In addition, I worked on Computer Vision and probablistic modelling based problems that were essential problem statements of the company's vision.
I like following current trends, especially anything that involves robotics. I love to refer myself as an inquisitive roboticist who prefers working towards solving unsolved mysteries.
