About Me

About Me

I am a Researcher and Design Engineer specializing in electro-mechanical systems from concept to real-world deployment. I excel at solving complex engineering challenges at the intersection of mechanical design, embedded systems, and robotics. My expertise spans actuator systems, custom power electronics, advanced manufacturing including additive manufacturing and metalworking, and programming in Python, C++, and ROS/ROS2. Certified in SolidWorks (CSWA and CSWP), I leverage hands-on innovation and rapid prototyping to engineer transformable robots, lightweight UAVs, and precision control systems. My published research in IEEE AIM demonstrates my commitment to advancing robotics and delivering robust, performance-driven solutions.

Work Experience

Research Assistant | Silicon Synapse Lab

Boston, MA | Dec. 2023 – Dec. 2025

  • • Architected 90% of Husky V3 quadruped-to-UAV transformable robot components, introducing hollow tube torso architecture that reduced pitch twist by 50% and cut 3D-printed assemblies threefold, enabling efficient multimodal path planning across quadruped and flight modes
  • • Configured dual-contact hollow tube hip and upper leg connections, optimizing moment arm positioning to reduce actuator torque, enhance load capacity, secure gripper engagement, streamline wire routing, and improve flight safety margins
  • • Developed and tested Print-in-Place (PIP) revolute joint mechanism using dual-material 3D-printed living hinges, eliminating post-assembly operations and enabling monolithic joint modules for rapid design iteration and modular reconfiguration

Electrical Engineer Intern | Festo Corporation

Mumbai, India | Jan 2023 – Aug 2023

  • • Fabricated TEC PCB from schematic through SMD assembly and validation, enabling dew point control for industrial air cooling subsystems
  • • Implemented solenoid valve driver circuit, achieving 3ms response time and 85% power efficiency for precision 2bar air flow control
  • • Validated PID-based PWM controller across various temperature sensors, achieving ±1.5°C accuracy within 300ms settling time for stable thermoelectric cooling operation

Research and Development Intern | Panache Digilife Limited

Mumbai, India | May 2022 – Jun 2022

  • • Prototyped SCARA robot-based automatic screwing system for laptop assembly, automating M2-M5 fastener screwing
  • • Demonstrated 30% production efficiency improvement and 20% monthly labor cost reduction through automated torque-controlled screwing mechanism, validated via prototype testing across multiple fastener configurations and assembly scenarios
