I can describe myself as an inherent avid maker. I like working on new mechatronic systems from conceptualization to completion, including mechanical design, failure analysis, simulation, control algorithm implementation, and testing and debugging the hardware. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in the domain of robotics; focusing on control systems, and motion planning. The work also involves designing innovative robot hardware to enhance the existing designs to implement novel motion planning tasks.Before starting the PhD, I completed my master's degree in mechanical engineering, where I enhanced my knowledge in robotics through coursework and a thesis project. I devised a novel algorithm to control the oscillations of the un-actuated pendulum attached to a UAV. Preceding the master's degree, I gained industrial experience at an automobile company in India, Tata Motors Ltd, where I learned about various processes involved in manufacturing accurate components for automobile systems. Through this experience, I learned how to consider manufacturability while designing anything mechanical component, which has been a useful skill ever since. During my bachelor's degree, I explored various fields of mechanical engineering including fluid dynamics, inventory management, dynamics, vibrations, etc. This exposure allowed me to decide what I am interested in, which led me to pursue the path of robotics with hardware implementations. In my career, I have ambitions to work on innovative robotics/mechatronics design projects that involve out-of-the-box thinking and applications, that have a positive impact on people around the world.
