Info
Welcome to my webpage!

I am a graduate student of MIT working towards PhD in Mechanical Engineering Dept., with major emphasis on Controls, Instrumentation, and Robotics.

Before coming to MIT I attended Indian Institute of Science where I earned MS in Computer Systems. Before that, I received Bachelors degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering and also worked for a while at Indian national lab: Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics as a Scientist.

My recent interest is towards Adaptive controls, and Human Machine Interfaces. In past I have worked on Computer Graphics, Visualization, Haptics, Image and Signal Processing, and Robotics.
