Department of Mechanical Engineering

Dissertation

Shreyas Kousik is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering with Prof. Ram Vasudevan's ROAHM Lab. In his research, Shreyas has developed a method called Reachability-based Trajectory Design, a novel control algorithm for mobile robots such as autonomous cars. This approach enables formal guarantees about safety and performance by leveraging optimization and geometry to solve inverse dynamics, an often-intractable problem in robotics.
