Assistant Professor at IIT Madras
I am currently a faculty member in the Department of Applied Mechanics & Biomedical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. My research interests lie at the interface of scientific ML, robotics, and soft-mechanics. You can check out the INTERFACE lab page for more details.
I am also the faculty advisor of the Applied Mechanics Scholars Association and help the enthusiastic scholars community run the seminar series 42 Explained! and ChalkTalk. Outside work, I have a set of trinkets that keep me busy. You can access their progress over at the projects page. Write to me if you are interested in collaborating or would like to know more about any of these topics.
