Hello! I am a final year Ph.D. candidate at Lehigh University advised by Prof. Cristian-Ioan Vasile. I am passionate about developing the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of intelligent robotic systems for complex applications with an emphasis on informed planning and decision-making. Towards this, my doctoral research focuses on perception-aware planning and safe decision making with formal guarantees of safety, correctness and performance. This work has potential applications in autonomous navigation, human-robot collaboration, and space exploration, to name a few.

In 2024, I spent a wonderful summer at the Honda Research Institute, USA as a research intern. Before embarking on my journey at Lehigh, I was a visiting research intern at the Intelligent Manipulation Lab, University of Lincoln, UK where I got the opportunity to work on planning and control for human-robot shared manipulation. During my undergraduate years, I spent a summer working on human-robot tekecommunication at The Biorobotics Institute, Italy. I completed my undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at NIT Nagpur in 2019.

I am honored to have been selected as the NSF CPS Rising star 2025 and P C Rossin Dean’s fellow.

I am on the job market (graduating in May 2025) and am actively looking for postdoctoral and industry research positions. If you think I might be a good fit, please reach out!

My CV is available here.
