Passionate for Robots

I am currently a Research Intern at the MARMOT Lab at the National University of Singapore (NUS), under the mentorship of Prof. Guillaume Sartoretti. I received my Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT ISM), Dhanbad.

My research journey has been enriched by mentorship from leading academics. I have worked on robotic grasping at IIIT Allahabad with Prof. G.C. Nandi and Andrew Melnik. I was also fortunate to complete an internship at the ERC Lab at National Taiwan Normal University, guided by Prof. Saeed Saeedvand and Prof. Jacky Baltes. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to work with Prof. Shishir Kolathaya N.Y. at the Stochastic Robotics Lab, IISc Bangalore, and with Prof. Arun Dayal Udai at my home institution.
