Civil engineering student focused on computational geotechnics, geospatial machine learning, computer vision and autonomous systems.

Summer Research Intern Apr 2026 — Jul 2026
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
  • Designed an electronic data acquisition device for hydraulic PRD and rotary SPT rigs, integrating 11 physical sensors across five measured parameters while operating alongside existing rig mechanisms.
  • Built a soil-characterization dataset and edge-to-cloud pipeline for real-time streaming of processed drilling parameters, reducing transmitted data and cloud costs.
  • Identified a lower-cost hardware module set that reduced estimated data-acquisition hardware cost by approximately 61% (INR 1.8 lakh to INR 0.7 lakh).
Project Contributor — Autonomous Surface Vehicle Development Jan 2026 — Mar 2026
Andromeida Maritime Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
  • Contributed to a six-week autonomous surface vehicle project for surveying and cleaning applications.
  • Helped develop and test waypoint navigation, including a Python ground-control station with live telemetry, line-of-sight guidance, and PID yaw control.
Civil Engineering Intern Dec 2024 — Apr 2025
Limra Developers · Aligarh, India
  • Assisted in on-site execution of residential and commercial projects, including RCC works, formwork, and finishing activities.
  • Supported quantity take-offs, BOQ preparation, and material estimation for ongoing construction projects.
Prediction of Foundation Settlement Using Hybrid FEA–ML Framework
Tools: OptumG2 · Pandas · scikit-learn · XGBoost
  • Performed 50+ finite element simulations in OptumG2 to model immediate settlement of strip footings under drained soil conditions with varying parameters.
  • Trained an XGBoost-based ML model for predicting immediate settlement of shallow foundations using FEA-generated data, achieving R² > 0.92 and mean absolute error < 8%.
  • Validated model predictions against real field case-history data, demonstrating strong agreement with observed behavior.
AUV Localization and Control System
Tools: ROS · OpenCV · IMU and Depth Sensors · PID Control · PyMavlink
  • Developed an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) localization and control system integrating IMU data with control feedback for motion estimation.
  • Implemented PID-based depth control for stable underwater navigation in low-visibility conditions.
  • Trained and integrated a custom SuperPoint detection model with visual–inertial cues to improve localization and pose estimation.
Nuclear Power Plant Site Suitability Mapping
Tools: QGIS · scikit-learn · PyTorch · Random Forest · LightGBM · GeoPandas · K-Means · GeoTIFF · WLC
  • Built a geospatial machine-learning pipeline to assess potential nuclear power plant sites, comparing tree-based ensemble models with GIS-based weighted linear combination.
  • Trained Random Forest, LightGBM, and weighted-linear-combination models on existing plant locations to create a 0–1 suitability raster across geological, demographic, and infrastructure criteria.
GIS-Based Spatial Analysis for Infrastructure Planning
Tools: QGIS · Python · GeoPandas · Rasterio · OpenStreetMap
  • Conducted GIS-based multi-criteria spatial analysis over a 100–200 km² study area to identify optimal zones for infrastructure development.
  • Generated weighted suitability maps integrating terrain slope, soil constraints, land-use restrictions, and road proximity, reducing unsuitable land identification by 40%.
