About
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal. Before my current role, I was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at IIT Palakkad. During this period, I delved into various robotics domains, including exoskeletons, medical robots, mobile robots, and soft robotics. My work doesn't stop at research and academia; I actively collaborate with students to develop innovative robotics solutions that address practical, real-world problems. My expertise extends to designing, mathematical modelling, and controlling parallel manipulators tailored for industrial applications.
I look forward to further advancing the realm of robotics and engineering and contributing to meaningful solutions in the days ahead.
