I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Tohoku University, Japan. My research expertise lies in the optimization of space exploration using smart robotics systems. Currently I design and develop intelligent autonomous plug-and-play modular robots that will pave the way to set up future human outposts on planetary surfaces. I hold a doctoral degree from the Space Robotics Lab, Tohoku University, Japan, and my PhD was focused on multi-robot exploration strategies for Moon and Mars. I have completed my Masters in Space Studies from International Space University, France and Masters in Space Systems Engineering from Skolkovo Institute of Technology, Russia.  I have participated and won several international Robotics Competitions on a global level such as the Caltech Space Challenge 2019 and Micron UV Robot Design Contest 2020.

I have worked with many Space Research & Education Companies where I contributed on the creation of a global community of space explorers through quality STEM Education and Outreach. I am a co-founding member ofSARABHAI (S2), India's first space policy thinktank which is a launchpad of ideas and innovation for a shared space future. I curate and direct the space law & policy dialogues that to look at contemporary space activities through a space law and policy lens. I also serve as the Co-coordinator for SGAC Scholarships team and actively involved in identifying and rewarding the next generation of space leaders.

Through strategic partnerships and collaborations, I have worked towards creating awareness and fostering innovation in this crucial aspect of lunar exploration. By organizing workshops, conferences, and networking events, I have fostered a collaborative environment for knowledge-sharing and joint initiatives. Through my work with international teams, I have played a pivotal role in facilitating collaboration between various stakeholders in the space industry, including government agencies, private companies, and research institutions. Recognizing the importance of responsible and ethical space exploration, I have been actively involved in promoting the development and implementation of standard guidelines for lunar exploration. By engaging with policymakers and industry leaders, I have advocated for frameworks that ensure sustainability.
