Hey! I am a second-year PhD student in Multi-Robot Systems Group (MRS) at the Czech Technical University advised by Dr. Robert Pěnička and Prof. Martin Saska. My research focuses on using learning-based methods for generalisable, multi-goal, and multi-task agile UAV flight. In the long term, I aim to develop a unified controller that can operate safely at high speeds in cluttered, real-world outdoor environments.
Before my PhD, I worked on classical nonlinear control strategies for carrying payloads with aerial vehicles at RRC, IIIT-H advised by Dr. Spandan Roy ,  Prof. Simone Baldi and Dr. Jinoh Lee.

At MRS, I have the opportunity to work with an exceptional team that regularly deploys UAVs in outdoor, real-world conditions. Here is a glimpse into what our group does.

I am also a trained Kuchipudi dancer. I hold a diploma and am a Doordarshan B-grade artist, which makes me eligible to perform at cultural events organized by the Government of India, both within the country and abroad. Some of my performances can be seen here.

I am currently interested in a research stay of about 4 to 6 months and would be happy to explore collaborations on learning-based planners or controllers for UAV flight. Please feel free to get in touch if our research interests align!
