- Edenic Energy Inc. (the start-up I am currently working at) is a part of the 2024 cohort of the TechStars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator in Birmingham, Alabama. - Kindly look at the next tile in the section for a description of my work at Edenic Energy.

- Responsible for all things Data & Machine Learning as a Founding Engineer in the early-stage Climate Tech startup focused on Building Decarbonization.- I also went beyond my job responsibilities to help the start-up with back-end & front-end development in the React, Node.js and Tailwind CSS stack, Data Collection including making phone calls to offices.

Gaithersburg, MD, US

ML for Modelling & Controlling HVAC Systems:- Working with the Intelligent Building Agents Lab at NIST on reducing the Energy consumption of HVAC equipment in buildings.- Used ML techniques to model the Outdoor Air Emulator - which generates repeatable weather conditions for the HVAC unit.- Developed a Reinforcement Learning based controller capable of.

Gaithersburg, MD, US

Robotics Simulation platform:- Developing the simulation platform for the Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC) in the (new) Gazebo Harmonic & ROS2.- Enhanced the previous version of the simulator by adding new features.- Ported the existing functionality from Gazebo-Classic to the (new) Gazebo Harmonic.

College Park, MD, US

- In this project, an observer robot must actively track an adversarial robot with noisy sensors while having no knowledge about the adversary’s actions (Decision Making Under Uncertainty).- Employing an MLP to estimate the noise in sensor measurements.- Currently implementing a path planner based on Bayesian filtering and tree-search techniques.- The work.

- Here, a ground rover with no sensors localizes in a known map with a drone's help and navigates to its goal.- Used ArUco markers to estimate the rover's pose from a drone in Gazebo and ran an experiment to find the Pose Estimation error as a function of marker-camera relative pose: - Flew the drone over the marker and recorded the flight in a Rosbag and.

Newark, New Jersey, US

- Worked on path planning for a fleet of AMRs in warehouse scenarios. Our warehouses had narrow aisles but the existing literature worked only for sufficiently wide aisles. So, I used an existing method as a base & modified it for our use-case.- The resultant method was able to produce feasible plans with minimal wait times for the robots.- In a warehouse.

Bangalore, Karnataka, IN

- The company works on imaging for defense applications and my project was on multi-task learning of Object Detection + Attribute prediction on thermal imagery from the battlefield.- Modified a YOLO’s final layer to include predicting the object’s orientation & trained it with cross-validation.- Converted the trained model from PyTorch -> ONNX -> TensorRT.

San Ramon, CA, US

- I worked on a Deep Learning for Computer Vision application (Object Detection) in warehouse scenarios & deployed the solution on Edge devices.- Created a custom dataset and cleaned duplicate images using image hashing and irrelevant images using pre-trained object detectors and oversaw the dataset’s labeling process.- Trained a Convolutional Neural Net.

Hyderabad, Telangana, IN

- Curated a dataset of RGB videos for Action Recognition.- Performed KNN classification to determine the most suitable network for our dataset: - Selected a few off-the-shelf Action Recognition networks and passed our videos through them to extract features. - Divided the dataset into 80-20 train-test splits & trained separate KNN Classifiers for the.

Santa Clara, California, US

- I was part of the Floor Planning team in the Physical Design group.- Worked on improving the quality of assessing the die area utilized by interconnecting metal layers in a chip.- Developed various scripts to calculate the run time of die area utilization computations.- Implemented various checker scripts to validate the automated flows of Floor planning.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, IN

- I did a study of various instruments (like Load Cells, controlled valves, etc) used in the Steel Melting Shop - 2 of JSW Steel's Steel plant in Toranagallu, Bellary, Karnataka.- I also spent time in their control rooms studying the PLC Controllers & the ladder logic that automates the processes of their Steel Melting Shop.
