About me
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher with Robotics and AI Team at Luleå Technical University (LTU). I have received PhD in Aerospace engineering from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India. My areas of interest include space robotics, multi-sensor fusion, autonomous guidance navigation and control strategies for various space missions, applied optimal and nonlinear control theory.
