I am a fourth year Ph.D. candidate with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California Santa Barbara. I am co-advised by Professor Francesco Bullo and Professor Joao P. Hespanha. My interests are Pursuit-Evasion games, Motion coordination and Cooperative control.

Earlier, I completed my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering as well as Master of Technology (M.Tech) with specialization in Computer-Aided-Design and Automation (CADA) from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.

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. More recently, I have been working on related problems such as dynamic vehicle routing. 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.
