About Me

Hello! I’m Prajit Krisshna Kumar. I graduated with my PhD in Robotics at ADAMS Lab, University at Buffalo under the guidance of Dr. Souma Chowdhury. My research domain is multi-robot systems and I have strong background in machine learning, reinforcement learning, multi-objective optimization and robotics simulations. I have published 10+ conference papers in leading robotics and aviation conferences including IROS and AIAA, with one best paper award in Multi Robot and Multi Agent systems (IEEE-MRS, single track, acceptance rate - 18%)
