Prathamesh Saraf

I am a Controls Engineer at ASML working on the EUV lithography systems.

I earned my Master's degree from UC San Diego in June 2024, focusing on areas like multi-agent cooperative control, non-linear control, convex optimization, sensing and estimation for robotics, and linear algebra. During my graduate studies, I gained hands-on experience with crazyflies, turtlebots, humanoid robots, and industrial control systems through research and internships.

Prior to this, I was a part of research labs at the Indian Institute of Science and the National University of Singapore, where I made significant contributions to stable multi-terrain locomotion for quadruped and hexapod robots through convex optimization control techniques. Throughout my undergraduate years, I collaborated with veterans in robotics and controls experts such as Prof. Shishir Kolathaya, Prof. Guillaume Sartoretti, Prof. Alivelu Manga Parimi, Prof. Ponnalagu RN, and Prof. Arshad Javed, enhancing my skills in dynamic modeling, system design, integration, optimal control algorithms, and reinforcement learning.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, dancing, and working out, and I've recently taken up surfing. I also love traveling, hiking, and cooking, which serves as my go-to stress reliever.
