Experience & Education
2024 - Present
MS Robotics, KAIST
Daejeon, South Korea
I am currently doing my Masters in Robotics under Professor Dong Eui Chang at Control Lab, KAIST. My major focus has been on reinforcement learning algorithms, application of RL for robot control and recently on differentiable simulations for policy learning. I have gained experience in analyzing nonlinear dynamic systems, designing controllers and using data-driven techniques for the same.
I have also gained a niche expertise in modeling dynamic systems, and designing simulation models, either completely from scratch or using tools like Nvidia Issacsim, Warp, MATLAB and Simulink.
​
Other areas I have worked upon include LLM, VLM, VLA which are the recent advancements in AI, upon newer RL algorithms that utilize the same and Bayesian models. I also have experience in designing traditional controllers like PID, SMC, MPC for different systems, including manipulators and drones.
2021 - 2024
Senior Engineer, Enphase Energy
Bangalore, India
I worked as a Senior Engineer at Enphase Solar Energy for 2.5 years after my BTech graduation. My major focus was on analyzing existing power management controllers used in the products, especially the Envoy and Enpower products. I built simulation models from scratch from existing C++ code within MATLAB, tested and verified new algorithms proposed in the company, and run complicated corner cases for the devices and propose new control schemes for the same.
​
I also helped developing the automatic DVT toolbox for the testing teams, specifically with writing drivers for our products to connect with Python.
​
I also built simulation models for CAN communication lines under different temperature, power and nodes for best and worst case scenarios for our new products.
2017-2021
BTech ECE, IITG
Guwahati, India
I completed my BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati in 2021. My Bachelors Thesis was done under Dr Hanumant Singh Shekhawat, EEE Dept., IITG on "Multi-agent multi-objective optimization with deep Q-learning".
​
During my time at IITG, I was a core part of the Tech board student clubs, being the project/inventory manager in Robotics club, and the microcontrollers team lead in Electronics club. I was also a core member of 4i Labs which included the best and largest projects from the student clubs. I participated in two Inter IIT Tech meets, in 2018 and 2019, earning one bronze and two silver medals. In the 2020 Tech meet, hosted by IITG, I helped design the problem statements for the event.​
Teaching Experience
2024, TA

Remote, India
I worked as a teaching assistant twice in the YTS programme aimed to teach high school students about electronics, programming and robotics. This was performed under Professors from different universities including NEU, Harvard, and several IIT professors.
2020, TA
Automation Lab
Guwahati, India
I worked as a teaching assistant under Dr Shekhawat for his Automation Lab graduate elective course. My focus was on designing the experiments and teaching basics of robotic, specifically control, motion planning, ROS, custom algorithm implementations on edge devices and their communication protocols.
2019, Project Manager
Robotics Club IITG
Guwahati, India
As the project manager for the Robotics Club, I designed, set up teams, and taught the required skills for new projects in the club. Other tasks included designing and hosting inter-hostel competitions, hosting and managing the yearly project exhibition event TechEvince. I was also the inventory manager, handling all the influx and outflux of different items in the club for all the projects. We also hosted workshops for computer vision and robotics fundamentals for new students.
2019, Microcontrollers Team Lead
Electronics Club IITG
Guwahati, India
I taught new students with hands-on experiences on ATMega and PIC microcontrollers, communication protocols for various devices and projects using these devices. Other tasks included designing and hosting inter-hostel compeitions, hosting and managing the yearly project exhibition event TechEvince. We also hosted workshops for microcontrollers and hackathons for new students.
