Current Research:

    Currently working as a Post Doctoral Research Associate in SMART Lab on the development of a low-cost pontoon-based unmanned surface vehicle (USV) towards the development of an integrated platform comprising of a sediment sampler integrated with a USV. The idea of the research is to develop an intelligent sediment sampling system for rivers, estuaries and small streams available around agricultural bodies to monitor and quantify environmental pollution. In addition to this, I am working with a team of agricultural and flow system engineers towards the development of a smart water distribution system for irrigation in Peruvian highlands. Both projects are part of the Purdue Nexus Project (https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/arequipa-nexus/en/index.php) towards developing multiple unmanned sampling robots (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), and remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs)) to carry out water and sediment sample analysis in situ in various environments and transmit results to a cloud server via a wireless network. My research areas are Multi-Robot Motion Planning, Intelligent Path Planning of Marine Robots, Design and Development of Marine Vehicles and Hydrodynamics.
