Hello, I'm Rohan.
I am a Mechanical Engineer conducting research revolving around Controls and Robotics at UC San Diego. My contributions to the field have been presented at international conferences like the 2024 APS March Meeting and SMASIS 2024.
Outside of work, I am an avid badminton player. Hailing from Pune, India - the place of origin of the sport - I have played state level badminton in high school and now play recreationally. I also love travelling and have been to over 50 countries!

From Bio-inspired Robotics to Fusion Engineering, I have worked on it all.

Friction Carousel
Mechanically Intelligent Wings
Sensorless Legged Locomotion
As my first research project, I developed a prototype of sensorless robotic limbs that could detect and overcome collisions.
In collaboration with Georgia Tech's Agile Systems Lab, we implemented a Delayed Stretch Activation model of actuating spring-winged systems mimicking a hawkmoth's flight.
As Primary Author alongside Professor Nick Gravish, I fabricated and automated a robotic system modelled after multi-legged insects to provide a new interpretation of multi-contact systems.
