I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My research is directed towards exploring Sample Efficient Policy Transfer in Cross-Domain tasks in RL; Information enabled Adaptive Control for Cyber-Physical Systems, Bayesian Nonparametric Approach in Adaptive Control, and Decision making in Non-Stationary Environment and Guidance, Control and Estimation Theory.

I have a Master’s degree in Aerospace engineering from the Indian Institue of Science Bangalore. At IISC, I worked on my thesis titled Robust and Precision Satellite Formation Flying Guidance Using Adaptive Optimal Control Techniques.

Before leaving for my Ph.D. at UIUC, I spent 8 wonderful years at the Indian Space research Organization (ISRO) as Scientist/Engineer ‘SD’ at ISRO-Satellite Center Bangalore (now URSC).
