About Me

I'm an undergrad pursuing a dual major in Physics and Electronics & Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani, India. My journey into the rabbit hole of FPGAs began in my first year when I joined a student-run satellite team at BITS. There, I dove into designing the onboard computer subsystem for a nanosatellite around a Zynq 7000 SoC - and that marked the start of my love-hate relationship with FPGAs. Since then, I've been knee-deep in hardware accelerators, both through the satellite team and through unpaid internships. My latest rollercoaster ride with FPGAs was working on a Xilinx FPGA SoM to build a hardware accelerator for real-time wildfire detection using UAV platforms. It was such an adventure that I am publishing my first paper with this project at IEEE-TIM '25.

Currently, I am working in the Systems Research Group at TUM to develop a state-of-the-art FPGA shell architecture for cloud FPGA applications.

My current research interests span across reconfigurable computing, computer systems, embedded hardware with a life-long fascination towards space systems.

When I'm not geeking out over FPGAs, I love exploring new places around the world and wanting to climb every mountain that I see on the way. You'll also find me living and breathing football, from shouting at the TV "Even I could've scored that" to realising that scoring goals might actually not be that easy. I also like playing volleyball, badminton and every indoor sport that goes well wtih a beer.
