Hello, I'm Rohan.
I am an incoming Powell Bundle fellow at UC San Diego. As a PhD candidate in the Mechanical Engineering department, my work focuses on tracking Inertial Fusion Energy targets for Laser Inertial Confinement Fusion.
I also volunteer at Atutu, a non-profit seeking to electrify historically marginalized communities across the world. With Atutu I have been involved in developing Energy Scout - a low cost Energy Monitoring System catered towards Non Profits.

As an Engineering Intern at Hi Tech Honeycomb, I was part of a team responsible for automating the otherwise physically intensive industrial process of resistance welding.
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.
