I completed my master's degree in electrical engineering at Aalto University, where I am majored in control, robotics, and autonomous systems, and minored in computer science. My master's thesis on learning computationally lightweight classifiers was advised and supervised by Prof. Dominik Baumann.
I was previously a graduate research assistant with the Sensor Informatics Group, working on implementing optimal control methods on a rotary inverted pendulum. The group is led by Prof. Simo Sarkka.
Before that, I was a junior research fellow with the Data, Control, and Autonomous Systems (DACAS) Lab, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, from 2021–2023, with Prof. Jishnu Keshavan. I graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in mechanical engineering from Ramaiah Institute of Technology in 2021.

I am a Ph.D. student at the Cyber-physical Systems Group at Aalto University, Finland, supervised by Prof. Dominik Baumann and Prof. Shankar Deka. I'm also affiliated with the Finnish Center of Artificial Intelligence.
Broadly, my research interests are at the intersection of machine learning, computational statistics, and autonomous control. More specifically, I'm interested in exploring ideas that make learning-based methods safer, computationally lightweight, and more robust for applications in robotics and healthcare.
As an engineering student, a lot of my work involves experimentation, so you'll find links to software projects on my GitHub. Outside of this, I'm into photography, film, and noodling on my acoustic guitar.
