About Me

Hey there, I‘m Nikhil! I‘m currently working as a researcher at Distyl after spending my undergraduate years working on robots at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).

I started working on robots at Team 254 (The Cheesy Poofs), where I ended my senior year as Team President and helped contribute to the team‘s dual World Championship victories in both FRC and VRC.

In my undergrad, I had the pleasure of working on projects ranging from bipedal robots, to model rockets, to drone swarms (for humanitarian aid), to vision systems for plants, and machine learning based atomic simulations in Japan. As I‘ve worked across this myriad of projects, I‘ve come to develop my own thoughts as to how I approach life, some of which I‘ve written about in a series of posts on my blog .

When I‘m not building, I‘m usually thinking about the future of education, contributing to open-source projects, or getting lost in a new book.
