Biography

I am a recent graduate student from Purdue University with an MS in Mechanical Engineering. My journey in this field began at Manipal University Jaipur, where I focused on Robotics Hardware and Mechanical Design.

My practical skills were further developed through internships at esteemed Indian labs such as ISRO, NPL, and DRDO, where I was deeply involved in experiment and simulation design. This comprehensive educational background, combined with my hands-on experience, has equipped me with a robust proficiency in robotics and mechanical engineering, allowing me to make meaningful contributions to the field.
