An introduction to my research journey!!
I'm Gautam Kumar, a PhD candidate in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore. I am currently working under the supervision of Dr. Ashwini Ratnoo in Autonomous Vehicle Laboratory.
My research specializes in multi-agent robotics, flight guidance and control systems, and optimization, with a focus on robust coordination in multi-robot systems with applications in UAVs, autonomous systems, and distributed control. I am currently exploring postdoctoral research opportunities where I can collaborate on impactful problems in robotics, autonomy, and control theory.
