Experience

  1. Research Student

    Dynamics and Control Lab, IIT Hyderabad
    • Developing high-fidelity reformulated vortex particle method (rVPM) simulations to characterize unsteady flapping-wing wakes and analyze vortex evolution.
    • Investigating neural operators, PINNs, DMD, and SINDy for efficient PDE learning and reduced post-processing cost.
    • Developing a Julia-based aeroelastic solver coupling FEM and rVPM using implicit and partitioned explicit coupling techniques.
    • Designed a sequential convex programming framework for drone-to-drone docking under safety and disturbance constraints.
    • Modeled tendon-actuated soft membranes for biomimetic jellyfish propulsion.
    • Conducted experiments for validation of computational models.

  2. Swarm Rescue Challenge

    CIEDS, Ecole Polytechnique de Paris
    • Developed autonomous swarm exploration and rescue algorithms under communication constraints.
    • Implemented obstacle-aware navigation, coordinated swarm motion, and resource-bounded decision logic.
    • Achieved an average of 4.5 rescues per 2000 simulation steps across four maps.

  3. Research Intern

    Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru
    • Investigated fatigue in muscle activity under simulated microgravity conditions.
    • Developed a wearable exoskeleton to emulate near-microgravity environments.
    • Validated biomechanical models using OpenSim and EMG time-series data. Motion capture was used to capture the precise action.

  4. Teaching Assistant - Spacecraft Dynamics and Control

    IIT Hyderabad
    • Assisted in delivering coursework on rigid-body attitude dynamics, orbital mechanics, and nonlinear spacecraft control.
    • Conducted problem-solving sessions and supported Python-based simulation assignments.
