Biography
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at LASA lab, EPFL. I completed my PhD titled “Cuspidal Robots: theoretical study, classification and applications to commercial robots” under the guidance of Prof. Philippe Wenger and Prof. Damien Chablat. Prior to it, I did my Master’s degree in the Erasmus Mundus course, European Master on Advanced Robotics plus (EMARO ).My master thesis was on optimal kinematic design of a parallel mechanism for otological surgery in collaboration with the Nantes Hospital. While working as Junior Research Fellow at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Jodhpur, I worked in Sensorless compliance in 6-dof parallel mechanisms and multi-agent load manipulation.
