Autonomous Systems & Robotics

I work as a Research Engineer with Prof. Sibin Mohan at George Washington University, focusing on autonomous drones and rovers with an emphasis on secure, low-latency communication and system resilience.

Focus Areas

Real-time communication under packet loss and latency
Multi-agent coordination and telemetry
Security in adversarial environments

Tooling

ROS, PX4
UDP-based pipelines
Vicon motion capture
NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi

Current Research Focus

Detecting buffer overflow and memory-safety vulnerabilities in drone communication stacks
Analyzing protocol-level weaknesses in onboard and ground-station interfaces
Real-time detection and mitigation of adversarial behavior

Goal: improve the safety, robustness, and reliability of autonomous systems operating in hostile or unpredictable environments.

Blockchain & Cryptography

I have a research background in cryptography and decentralized systems, with a focus on privacy-preserving technologies such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).

Elliptic curve cryptography
Smart contract vulnerability analysis
Privacy-aware system design
