About
As a determined and focused student, I strive to advance my career through a demanding internship opportunity. I am an active learner and I am willing to execute any assigned tasks. My strong motivation and commitment to push my limits make me believe that the best way to improve is by accepting new challenges, irrespective of how hard they may be.
New York University — Tandon School of Engineering
B.S. Electrical Engineering · 09/2023 – 05/2027 (Expected) · New York, USA
- Advanced GPA: 3.83
- Core Coursework: Digital Logic and State Machine Design, Fundamentals of Electronics I, Electric Circuits, Statics, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, Calculus III, Physics II
Hardware-to-Modeling Mindset

Research Interests
I am motivated by control-oriented engineering problems where algorithms meet physical constraints— especially in robotics and cyber-physical systems.
Control & Cyber-Physical Systems
Bridging theory to real behavior in physical systems.
- Feedback control, stability intuition, and system modeling.
- Practical constraints: sensing, latency, noise, actuator limits.
Robotics
Sensing–actuation loops and system integration.
- Robot subsystems: motors, drivers, control loops.
- Human-in-the-loop and reliability considerations.
Embedded & Motor Control
From PCB + firmware to measurable performance.
- Microcontrollers, embedded safety, and real-time coordination.
- Motor control stacks: sensing, drivers, and firmware logic.
Experience
Selected experiences spanning industry internship, lab research, and systems-level design.
