Hello! I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Autonomous Robotic Manipulation lab, University of Michigan advised by Prof. Dmitry Berenson. I completed Ph.D. at Lehigh University advised by Prof. Cristian-Ioan Vasile. I build planning and decision-making algorithms for robots operating in complex, uncertain environments, with a focus on safety, robustness, and scalability.

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 tele-communication 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 an RSS Pioneer 2026, NSF CPS Rising star 2025, ME Rising Star 2025, and P C Rossin Dean’s fellow.

My CV is available here.

I’m on the job market for research scientist/engineer and robotics autonomy roles in industry, where I aim to bring planning and decision-making research into real-world systems. If that sounds like a fit for your team, I’d love to hear from you!
