Hi, I am a 3rd year Ph.D. Candidate in Robotics at Virginia Tech, working under Prof. Alan T. Asbeck in the Assistive Robotics Lab. My research focuses on modeling, simulation, and control of coupled human–exoskeleton systems for seamless human–robot collaboration. I integrate dynamics, control theory, and learning to achieve high-performance whole-body motion control in both simulation and custom-built exoskeleton hardware. Before joining Virginia Tech, I served as a Research Scientist at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), where I contributed to satellite structural and vibration-isolation technologies currently operational in orbit.
My focus areas include whole-body control, impedance and torque-based control, human–robot interaction modeling, simulation-driven controller design, and sim-to-real transfer for exoskeleton systems.
