Since elementary school, I’ve been interested in math and physics. Thanks to my awesome research group led by Dr. Shital S. Chiddarwar during undergrad at VNIT Nagpur, I had the opportunity to explore different areas in robotics.

After years of adventure, I realized that I enjoyed seeing my robots generate dynamic motions and studying the mathematical beauty of their nonlinear dynamics. This enjoyment has led me to my research interests in Motion Planning & Control.

I’m pursuing my PhD under Prof. Shishir N. Y. at the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems, IISc Bangalore, focusing on developing frameworks for “contact-rich” legged locomotion.

Currently, I’m a Visiting Researcher at the ATARI Lab, Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI), TUM, working with Prof. Majid Khadiv on safe and optimal loco-manipulation problems.

Feel free to contact me for any questions or suggestions, I would be more than happy to interact through a chat or a meet.

Besides this, I like to spend my time drawing and looking at trees and clouds :)
