This website is focused on my research work and interests.

I am currently a Graduate student associated with the Center for Vehicle Systems and Safety (CVeSS) Lab under the supervision of Dr. Mehdi Ahmadian at Virginia Tech. My academic and research interests lie primarily in the field of Dynamics and Control Engineering with a keen interest in Autonomous systems.

My life-long interest in the automotive industry coupled with my vision for a fully autonomous transportation system is what pushed me to pursue the topic of “Development of control algorithms for platooning trucks” as my Ph.D. research topic. My Ph.D. research is initially focused on a simulation study geared towards improving the existing control algorithms especially considering some of the exclusive vehicle dynamics of semi tractor-trailers.

Prior to joining VT, I received my Master's in Mechanics and Design from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad and my Bachelor's from the Cochin University of Science and Technology.

Outside of academia, I am a Formula one enthusiast, and I believe it is one of the rare human endeavors that is crafted to perfection, reaching unparalleled levels of engineering brilliance. Get a glimpse of it for yourself here.
