Hello! I am a developer in the Object Fusion team at APTIV in Troy, Michigan. My work typically focuses on design and implementation for sensing and perception modules for software-based automotive autonomy solutions, which is a part of Aptiv’s Advanced Safety & User Experience deliverables. I earned my Ph.D. and masters in the Flight Dynamics & Control/ Hybrid Systems Lab at Purdue University, and my bachelors degree at IIT Kharagpur. During all my degrees, I have majored in aerospace/aeronautical engineering, with a focus on control, estimation, and aircraft dynamics.
The research page provides an extensive overview of the investigations I have conducted throughout my graduate studies, with a specific emphasis on distributed state estimation and applied machine learning. All publications stemming from these research endeavors can be found on the publications page. An account of my experiences at Aptiv is presented on the work experience page. This entire narrative is succinctly encapsulated in my CV, accessible through the CV page.
During my leisure hours, I engage in amateur tennis, basketball, badminton, and squash. With the pandemic curbing these activities, some friends and I have got a newfound interest in playing board games and tabletop RPG games. It has been a slippery slope of buying newer and more complex games, which has led to a never-ending race between buying new games (just got Food Chain Magnate!), and playing them all; the list of games I own and have played can be found here. I am the DM for several D&D campaigns, wield the powers of a level-3 Paladin in one (smite!) and a charming Swords Bard in BG3 (lute!). I also try to play some guitar and the bass, and enjoy listening to prog.
