Deshpande
I am a PhD candidate in
the Mechanical Engineering Department
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
Academics
- I am working with Prof. Sanjay
Sarma and Prof. Daniela Rus.
- My primary areas of interest: Sensor Networks, Mobile Sensor
Networks, Coverage Problems, Signal Processing, Computational
Geometry
- My Master's thesis is -- A Pseudo-polynomial Time O(log^2(n))-Approximation Algorithm for Art Gallery Problems.
- I received double M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
- During my undergraduate years at IIT
Bombay, I worked in the area of CAD/CAM. I am still interested in
geometry related problems in this area.
