I am a Ph.D. Student in Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where I am a member of the xLab advised by Prof. Rahul Mangharam. My research interests broadly lie in Safe Autonomy. More specifically, I am interested in integrating formal safety frameworks, such as Control Barrier Functions and Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability, with learning-enabled control to develop high-performance autonomous systems with provable safety guarantees. In parallel, I am also interested in uncertainty quantification to enhance the reliability and robustness of real-world autonomous systems.

Before beginning my Ph.D., I collaborated extensively with Prof. Somil Bansal at Stanford University on problems in Safe Autonomy. I also spent a wonderful one and a half years as a Research Assistant in the Stochastic Robotics Lab at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), where I worked with Prof. Shishir Kolathaya on Safe Robot Learning.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna in 2024, where I was advised by Prof. Sudhir Kumar. My undergraduate thesis was awarded the Institute Proficiency Prize for the Best Bachelor’s Thesis. During my undergraduate studies, I was also fortunate to receive the MITACS Globalink Research Fellowship. As a Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania, I was honored to receive the Ganster Engineering Fellowship.
