I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Robotics and AI, advised by Dr. Julie A. Adams at Oregon State University.

I graduated with a Masters in Robotics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in May 2021. At UM, I worked at the Laboratory for Progress directed by Dr. Chad Jenkins, and at the UM Ford Center for Autonomous Vehicles. I completed my Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering from VNIT Nagpur, India in May 2018.

My primary research interests are Multiple Robot Systems, Distributed AI, Game Theory, Planning under Uncertainty.

I am open to industry/academic research positions starting January 2027.

Feel free to reach out if I might be a good fit for your organization.
