Update: I will be joining Arizona State University, School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy starting Spring 2025.

I am looking for dedicated, hardworking, and highly self-motivated graduate (MS and PhD) students to join my research group starting in Spring '25. If you are interested in the broader topics of robotics, machine learning, control theory, and optimization, contact me via email. Some videos related to my research (conference talks and experiment videos) are available on my YouTube channel. 

More specific topics that I will be interested in working on are:

• Multi-agent robotics
• Team robotics with aerial and ground robots
• Learning-based methods for safe robotics
• Optimization-based methods for safe robotic control
• Reinforcement learning for multi-objective robotic applications
• Large-Language Models (LLMs) in robotic applications

The pre-requisites and background I am looking for are as follows:

• Strong interests in control, autonomy, and robotics
• Strong mathematical background in Linear Systems and Linear Algebra, ODEs, Probability, and Calculus
• Programming efficiency: Python  (C/C++ is optional, but will be a good add-on as we will plan to conduct hardware experiments)
• Hands-on experience with ML packages (PyTorch or JAX)
• Hands-on experience with ROS or ROS2

Email me your CV along with a one or two-page document on why you are interested in working with me, what topic(s) you are interested in working on, what motivates you to work on those, which of the pre-requisites listed above you meet, and what's your plan for meeting the rest of the requirements. 

Reach out to me on kgarg24 [at] asu.edu if you are interested in working with me at ASU.
