About Me

I am currently pursuing an M.S. in Robotics degree at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I also work as a graduate research assistant in the Perception, Robotics, AI, and Sensing (PRAISe) Lab, led by Professor Chahat Deep Singh.

I build intelligent robotic systems aimed at extending the practical limits of autonomous operation in extreme environments, with a long-term goal of pushing the boundaries of space exploration. My work focuses on perception and navigation for resource-constrained robots operating under uncertainty, limited sensing, and strict computational and power budgets.

More specifically, my research centers on two closely related questions: how can robots reliably perceive, reason about, and navigate environments they have never encountered before, under harsh operating conditions and with minimal human supervision; and how can increasingly capable foundation models be integrated while preserving safety, predictability, and verifiable guarantees, particularly for robots deployed in mission-critical settings?

Essentially:

Turning this…	Into this (4x speed)!

Stay tuned for updates on my latest research project involving lightweight vision foundation models and resource-constrained robot navigation! This project will also feature hardware testing done on a sub-350g drone running AgIRoM (an autonomous drone framework developed at IRoM Lab based on Agilicious, recognized by the Mechanical and Aerospace Engingeering Department at Princeton University with the Sigma Xi Book Award for Research Excellence).
