Exploring the
Final Frontier
Bridging astrodynamics, control theory, and optimization to advance the GNC architectures of space systems capable of autonomous decision-making in uncertain multi-body environments.
About Me
I am a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at [University Name]. Since fall 2024, I have been working as a Graduate Research Assistant under Professor Abhishek Halder, at the intersection of Stochastic Systems, Dynamics & Control, and Optimization.
My enduring curiosity for control systems led me to major in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani. My undergraduate and master’s research experiences have helped me identify my interests in bridging astrodynamics, control theory, optimization, and stochastic systems to advance Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) architectures of space systems.
Apart from research, I keep a keen interest in Electric Vehicles. My hobbies include trekking, cricket, badminton, running, and cycling.
