Nitish's Photo

Hello! I'm Nitish

I am pursuing my Master of Engineering in Robotics at the University of Maryland (expected Spring 2025). My focus includes advanced robotics, machine learning, sensor fusion, and computer vision.

Previously, I interned at Cognizant (2022-2023) developing full-stack web solutions, and at the Institute of Innovations, building IoT devices. My passion is to bring cutting-edge robotics technologies to real-world applications.
