Hi! I’m a passionate robotics researcher working with Dr. Roshan and Dr. Ryan on scaling tiny robots into powerful swarm systems. Currently, I’m working on Buffalo Bytes—tiny robots without encoders—and developing SLAM using wireless sensing to enable precise localization. My goal is to achieve onboard computing with miniature SLAM capabilities, eventually expanding these single robots into collaborative swarms. I’m driven by the challenge of making scalable, autonomous systems through wireless networks and real-time, resource-efficient computing on these mini machines!

I completed my graduate studies in Robotics at the University at Buffalo. My research interests spanned Designing, Perception, and Mobile Robotics, where I combined my skills to develop innovative solutions.During my graduate studies, I conducted research on Multi-Agent SLAM as part of my thesis under the guidance of Dr. Karthik Dantu.
