Teaching & Mentorship

I have served as a Teaching Assistant for several core and elective courses in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay, covering over 500 student interactions across guidance, control, navigation, and flight mechanics. I have also mentored graduate and undergraduate students on their thesis projects.
