  mentoring_philosophy: 'My mentoring philosophy revolves around empowering students to be independent problem solvers in any domain. I treat students as subject-matter experts in their respective projects and serve as a resource alongside them when they need help, to brainstorm ideas, and if there is an issue of safety. My students should expect to look things up, learn new skills, acquire knowledge needed to accomplish their tasks, and have fun while being in a safe and professional environment. I do not expect perfection, just a willingness to learn and recover quickly from any failures. There is always something new to learn and I look forward to learning new things from students.'

  overall_research_project_description: |
    This project has two components, the first being the development of an F1/10 (Formula 1/10) car platform for autonomous and collective (swarm) operation. The second involves the development, building, and testing of an autonomous electric go-kart. Both these projects have a racing component, including going to competitions.

    This research is part of a group of projects in our lab that focus on autonomous vehicle research across different settings, including urban roads, water, racing environments, and multi-vehicle collaboration. You will be exposed to key areas such as sensor technologies, environmental perception, vehicle localization, control systems, and artificial intelligence.

    Our lab uses the latest technologies in machine learning, control theory, optimization methods, and connected systems to create resilient and autonomous systems. Our research involves multiple disciplines, bringing together expertise from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, embedded systems design, mathematics, and computer science.
