Education
Master of Science - Mechanical Engineering, GPA: 3.63/4 May 2015
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, 65% June 2009
Mumbai University, Mumbai, India
Academic Experience
Master’s Thesis : Modeling and Control of Flapping Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles 2013 to 2015
 Modeled and simulated using Matlab, 6 DOF, nonlinear time varying equations of motion for hover and forward flight
regime of reconnaissance robots
 Used averaging theory to convert time varying model to time invariant one.
 Developed multivariable controllers (LQR & output feedback robust H-infinity).
 Modeled uncertainty (wing dynamics) and analysed close loop performance under uncertainty
 Analyzed trade-offs in system performance and stability (w.r.t minimum controller bandwidth requirement)
Course Projects:
Simulation of an Assistive Exoskeleton during Swing Phase of Gait Spring 2013
 Simulated a robotic wearable exoskeleton in MATLAB which used digital state feedback control with discrete Kalman
filter for Digital Systems and Controls class.
System Identification of a fluidized bed calciner system for Control Relevant Identification Fall 2013
 Analyzed the effect of input signal design (e.g. PRBS, Multisine) and model type (ARX, OE etc.), have on the accuracy
of the identified model by matching the close loop response with the known original for system identification class.
