About Me

Hi, I’m Kaustubh Joshi, currently pursuing my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland. My research explores advanced state estimation and decision-making for robots, focusing on combining traditional nonlinear observer techniques with cutting-edge AI methods. I’m passionate about building intelligent systems that operate in challenging environments, with applications ranging from autonomous navigation to immersive technologies like AR/VR.

Beyond research, I enjoy mentoring students, developing creative teaching materials, and sharing my love for robotics. In my downtime, you’ll often find me doing some photography, running, cycling, and trekking.

Feel free to explore my work, reach out for collaboration, or just say hello!
