Wichita State University College of Engineering together with the Graduate Student Ambassadors of CoE organized the first ever Annual Engineering Research Symposium (AERS). This is a poster presentation competition where graduate and undergraduate students of all engineering disciplines can present their work under three levels of research experience: novice, emerging, and expert. Judges from different…… Continue reading WSU AERS 2023
3-Minute Thesis 2023
I participated in the Wichita State University’s 3-MT competition for the second consecutive year, and presented my work on ‘Dynamic Charge Scheduling of Hybrid Resources’. 3-MT is a competition where one presents their research work in the format of a three minute elevator pitch with only a single static slide to show. I was adjudged…… Continue reading 3-Minute Thesis 2023

Pose Estimation Research for Journal
Adding on to my previous published work in pose estimation domain, I have collaborated again with Kiruthikan Sithamparanathan and Dr. Harsha S. Abeykoon to improve the shortcomings of the previous paper and prepare a Journal submission. The current goal is to improve the 3D reconstruction accuracy, validate previous simulation results for random generated poses with…… Continue reading Pose Estimation Research for Journal
Pose Estimation of a Robot Arm from a Single Camera
As part of my final year project in my undergraduate studies, I worked with two other students on finding a method to estimate the pose of a robot arm visually from a camera feed that is fixed away from the robot. Our project was supervised by Dr. Harsha S. Abeykoon. We used the ‘KUKA KR6…… Continue reading Pose Estimation of a Robot Arm from a Single Camera
