Junior Research Fellow (JRF) - BITS Pilani
(2025-09 - 2025-04)
Autonomous Vehicle Project
- Led end-to-end development of an autonomous vehicle from concept to on-ground integration across multi-disciplinary teams.
- Strategically planned and finalised sensor integration layout; designed and manufactured mounting systems ensuring reliability under dynamic road conditions without impacting sensor performance.
- Collaborated with CS/IS and EEE departments for LiDAR/Orin battery management, electrical interconnections, and network switch evaluation.
- Built a real-time road lane segmentation pipeline using U-Net CNN and Intel RealSense — covering annotation, mask generation, class-imbalance training, and live inference deployment.
