Welcome to my home page! I am a third year grad student of Aerospace Engineering at the Texas A&M University. I am currently working in the field of Stochastic Dynamics, trying to develop efficient numerical tools to solve the Fokker-Planck equation. My co-advisors are Dr. John L. Junkins and Dr. Suman Chakravorty. I completed my undergraduate studies in May 2004, majoring in Aerospace Engineering, at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India; where my senior year advisor was Dr. Ashish Tewari.

Broad research interests

  • Uncertainty propagation with the Fokker-Planck equation; probability of collision in space    (Current research)
  • Numerical techniques - Meshless Finite Element methods    (Current research)
  • Interplanetary trajectory design    (Terminal illness)
  • Aerocapture/Aerobraking technologies    (IITK legacy)
