Hi! I am Posdoctoral Researcher in the RISc Lab at Dartmouth, working with Prof. Adithya Pediredla. My research spans computational sensing, rendering, and navigation.
I earned my PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Texas A&M University under Prof. Manoranjan Majji. My dissertation focused on digital signal processing and state estimation using FPGA-based embedded systems. Here is a brief outline of my doctoral work: Technical Note.
During graduate school, I also worked on sensor simulation and computational vision for space exploration. As a visiting researcher at NASA JPL, I worked with Drs. Georgios Georgakis, and Anup Katake on the Europa Lander concept mission, focusing on perception for vision-based localization and velocimeter LiDAR projects.
I am broadly interested in intelligent sensing for perceptually challenging environments, with the goal of enabling precise navigation and science-driven autonomous operations.
