I am a Robotics Engineer working at the
intersection of robot learning, perception,
controls, and biological systems, with additional
experience as an end‑to‑end electronics and
embedded systems developer.
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at
The
Ohio State University, advised by
Christopher Fang-Yen, where I develop
machine vision and robotic systems to study
C. elegans.
I completed my master's in
Electrical and Computer Engineering from
The
Ohio State Univeristy under the guidance
of
Ayonga Hereid.
My thesis
focused on perceptive terrain-aware locomotion
for humanoid robots using reduced-order
representations.
Earlier in my career, I contributed to the development of
quadrupedal robots in the
Stochastic Robotics Lab at the
Indian Institute of Science, advised by
Shishir Kolathaya, and its spin-off
Strider Robotics, led by
Aditya Sagi. During my undergraduate years,
I spent most of my time building and
experimenting with multi-robot systems.
When I'm not teaching robots how to walk
gracefully without dramatic faceplants,
I am out chasing dramatic cloudscapes, sketching
unnamed emotions, folding origami dragons that
refuse to fly, admiring tress like
old philosophers, or pretending to be good at
racquet sports.
Please reach out if you would like to
discuss my work, explore collaboration ideas, or
just connect!
I am actively seeking a research internship
in robotics and computer vision for summer 2026.
