I am a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I am part of the Epureanu Research Group and the Automotive Research Center. I hold an M.S. in Robotics from the University of Michigan and a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

My work sits at the intersection of dynamics, control, and decision-making: I am interested in how we can design and analyze systems that learn, coordinate, and adapt—whether in manufacturing, robotics, or multi-agent settings. I draw on tools from reinforcement learning, nonlinear and optimal control, and applied mathematics, with an emphasis on rigor and interpretability.

Research interests

• Reinforcement learning — sequential decision-making and policy optimization
• Multi-agent systems — coordination, cooperation, and emergent behavior
• Control theory — nonlinear dynamics, reachability, and observer design
• Robotics — perception, planning, and applications in mobility and manipulation

Experience and affiliations

I have had the opportunity to work with research and industry groups across academia and R&D, including the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, the University of Michigan, the University of Toronto, the Automotive Research Center, and the Isuzu Technical Center of America. These roles have spanned theory, simulation, and implementation in robotics and control.
