Hey there! I’m a PhD student in Robotics (focused on Space Robotics) at the Colorado School of Mines. Before diving into deep space (literally and academically), I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer, mostly in computer vision, and earned my BSc in Mechatronics Engineering from RUET.

My research vibe? Mostly around robot perception, digital twins, and how we can make robots actually understand and navigate the wild unknown—think lava tubes on Mars. I’ve also tinkered with human-robot interaction and robotic exoskeletons (because who doesn’t want to build real-life sci-fi?).

A couple of my favorite projects:

• Six-wheeled rover sim for 3D mapping Martian caves—got featured in ROS News (Jan 2022)

• RTG – a monocular depth estimation-based terrain generator—featured again in ROS News (Feb 2025)

I’ve also published on topics like the future of digital twins in robotics and navigation in off-world environments. Oh—and I led Team Ogrodoot to rank 11th globally in the International Rover Design Challenge 2023. Proud nerd moment.

When I'm not debugging or building things that crawl across Mars or Moon, you’ll probably find me geeking out over open-source robotics, dreaming up wild space missions, or tinkering with ROS packages way too late at nigh
