About

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Center of Resilient Autonomous Systems at the University of California, Irvine, collaborating with Profs. Pramod Khargonekar and Mohammad Al Faruque. I am passionate about developing novel algorithms to aid autonomous vehicles and robots to accomplish a mission. I have worked on various aspects of autonomous vehicles, including leading a 50 student team from Texas A&M University in developing a Level 4 autonomous car. I received my Ph.D. from Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, where I worked with Profs. Swaroop Darbha and Sivakumar Rathinam on collaborations with AFRL, NRL, and GM. I received my B.Tech and M.Tech from IIT Madras from the Engineering Design department, where I worked with Prof. C. S. Shankar Ram.
