Hey, I'm Udit — a graduate student in Autonomy at Purdue University, USA!

I thrive on solving complex challenges in robotics and autonomy. If you’re in the Greater Lafayette area, let's get coffee!

✅Currently open to opportunities in Robotics, Autonomy, and Physical AI.

⭐ About

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Autonomy at Purdue University’s Institute for Control, Optimization, and Networks (ICON) . My current research focuses on Cooperative Driving Automation with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. More broadly, I am interested in applying robot learning and foundation models to address challenges in autonomous and connected systems. By enabling robots to make more intelligent decisions, I aim to deliver real-world impact across sectors such as mobility, logistics, healthcare, and beyond.

Prior to joining Purdue, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B), under the guidance of Professor Leena Vachhani. My work at IIT-B focused on Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) navigation in safety-critical and highly stochastic unknown underwater environments. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Mechatronics and Automation from MIT Art, Design, and Technology University .
