Research
I work on problems involving coordination of multiple mobile vehicles to achieve certain specified tasks. In particular, I have looked at Pursuit-Evasion games with sensing limitations and motion constraints. I have developed provably correct pursuit strategies for one or more pursuers to capture an evader in specified environments. Please visit my research page for more details.

Miscellaneous

My favourite pastime is Music - both listening to as well as playing. Among outdoor and sport activities, I take interest in jogging and the game of Cricket. If I am doing neither of these, I like spending time with some recreational math.
