Welcome to my homepage.
Presently, I work as an software engineer for IEM Corp., Troy NY.
I have been involved in developing a mobile robot for inspection tasks at rail yards. For more information please visit http://iem.net/robotics
I am now working on developing a condition monitoring system for passenger rail. For more information, please visit http://iem.net/products-dp15
My professional interests lie mainly in designing and developing algorithms for computer vision and signal processing applications. I code primarily in C++ and leverage open source tools such as OpenCV and ROS among others. I use Matlab for protoyping and testing my systems.
Previously, I have been a master's student at the Oklahoma State University.
I have worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Laboratory for Advanced Sensing, Computation and Control. under the guidance of Dr. Weihua Sheng.
Specifically, I have worked on the following sub-fields during my graduate research :
- Physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI).
- Robot Learning from Demonstrations (LfD).
- Role of human physiological signals such as EEG, EMG in human-robot interaction
Please visit the projects page for a list of all the projects I have worked on and the videos resulting therein. All the projects are supported by relevant publications.
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great giants are produced.”
