My work is focused on swarm robotics, and how we can use a swarm to track a pollutant dispersing in a fluid back to the source. Moreover, I will look at how a human might interact with and influence a subset of the swarm to help them perform the desired task better. THe simulations for this research are written in C++, and there are two main components:

• The fluid is simulated using the Navier-Stokes equations detailed in this paper by Jos Stam.
• The swarm model is adopted from research previously conducted in this lab by Daniel Brown, Sean Kerman and Prof. Michael A. Goodrich. The swarm model is presented in this paper.

As an undergrad student in India, I have had the opportunity to work on a number of different projects:

• UAS DTU - Next-Gen UAV Development, autopilot control and path planning. Participated in AUVSI's Student UAS Competition. Mentored and sponsored by Lockheed Martin.
• Robot Monitoring Suite - Designed and developed a remote desktop application to manage, program and control industrial robots from other computers over LAN or Internet at baseClass Automation in Budapest, Hungary.
• Visiting Research Student, Cranfield University - Studied the significance of the Raspberry Pi in digital forensics, and designed and carried out an experimental plan to establish the potential forensic artefacts recoverable from a Raspberry Pi device.

I am a huge soccer (football, as it should be called) fan and support the London based Chelsea F.C. club. Outside of football, I love reading all sorts of books. I have spent a considerable amount of time in the recent past reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series, and popular Physics books by Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan. I watch a lot of TV Shows and Movies, and frequently recommend these to friends who aren't such voracious consumers of film media.

I have been fortunate enough to travel to a lot of places, but I'm still only the third most traveled person in my family of four. Outside of India, I have been to, in chronological order - Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, England, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Wales, Scotland, United States of America.
