Aug 2019 - May 2023
Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering
Dr. Br. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology
Jalandhar, India
My undergraduate studies at NIT Jalandhar built the foundation for my multidisciplinary approach to engineering. The program cultivated my passion for mechatronics and automation, preparing me to bridge mechanical design with control systems and setting the stage for my specialization in robotics.
Relevant Courses: Engineering Graphics & CAD, Mechatronics, Industrial Automation, Elements of Control Engineering, Robotics: Mechanics & Control, Manufacturing Processes, Material Science & Metallurgy, Strength of Material, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
Professional Experience
June 2022 - August 2022
Manufacturing Engineering Intern
Rail Coach Factory
Kapurthala, India
My internship at one of India's largest rail coach manufacturing plants gave me hands-on exposure to industrial-scale automation and smart manufacturing. Working with CNC systems, production line optimization, and integrated mechatronic systems, I discovered how control theory and automation transform traditional manufacturing into efficient, data-driven operations.
Other Experiences
Aug 2025 - Dec 2025
Teaching Aide - MEE 488: Mechanical Design I
Ira A Fulton School of Engineering
Arizona State University, Tempe
Supporting undergraduate capstone teams through their design journey taught me as much as it taught them. From grading conceptual designs to facilitating hands-on group activities, I helped students navigate the messy, creative process of turning ideas into prototypes—reinforcing my own understanding of design thinking and the importance of clear technical communication.
Jan 2026 - May 2026
Teaching Aide - MEE 489: Mechanical Design II
Ira A Fulton School of Engineering
Arizona State University, Tempe
Continuing with the capstone sequence, I'm now guiding students through detailed design, manufacturing considerations, and validation testing. Watching teams refine their prototypes and overcome real-world constraints reminds me why I love engineering—it's about solving problems that matter, with creativity, rigor, and collaboration.
Aug 2025 - May 2026
MORE Researcher
RISE Lab
Arizona State University, Tempe
Working in the RISE Lab has immersed me in the world of advanced drone simulation and control. Bridging the gap between Simulink controllers and MuJoCo physics simulation, I'm building tools that let us test autonomous flight algorithms in realistic virtual environments before real-world deployment—turning theory into testable, verifiable systems.
