Mentorship

Mentoring emerging engineers and researchers in robotics, AI, and technical careers.

I mentor students and early-career engineers on research direction, curriculum strategy, internships, technical portfolios, and career decisions at the intersection of robotics, autonomous systems, controls, and applied AI.

10+ students mentored across past and current cohorts

IIT Kanpur Alumni Buddy Program mentoring and student guidance

Multidisciplinary Mentorship across engineering, computing, and science backgrounds

Technical advising Research, internships, curriculum, and career planning

Mentorship Focus

Structured guidance for students navigating technical depth and career direction.

My mentorship combines technical feedback with practical career strategy. I help students evaluate academic choices, identify meaningful projects, prepare for research and internship opportunities, and communicate technical work clearly through resumes, portfolios, and interviews.

Research Direction Choosing problems, reading papers, and shaping early technical contributions.

Career Strategy Internships, graduate study, industry roles, and long-term positioning.

Technical Portfolio Projects, resumes, GitHub presentation, and interview readiness.

Academic Planning Curriculum choices, semester strategy, and building a coherent technical profile.

Past Mentorship

IIT Kanpur Alumni Buddy Program.

Through the Alumni Buddy Program, I mentored IIT Kanpur undergraduates on curriculum decisions, semester planning, internship and job options, and research pathways. I also conducted Mock-en-Joy interviews organized by the Outreach Cell, IIT Kanpur, helping students practice technical and professional interview communication.

Advising Method

Practical, evidence-based, and technically specific.

I focus on concrete next steps: what to study, what to build, what to read, how to sequence opportunities, and how to explain technical work to research mentors, recruiters, or engineering teams.

Professional Impact

Developing technical talent beyond my own projects.

Mentorship is an extension of technical leadership. It reflects trusted judgment, field-specific expertise, and a sustained effort to help students build independent capability in engineering and research, including through structured mock interview programs such as Mock-en-Joy by the Outreach Cell, IIT Kanpur.
