Nihar Masurkar

A dedicated and ambitious graduate research student immersed in the interdisciplinary realm of Robotics and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Equipped with a robust foundation in Mechanical Engineering, my passion lies in the fusion of robotics technology with NDT methodologies, striving to pioneer innovative solutions. My academic journey has equipped me with comprehensive expertise spanning image processing, machine learning, and control systems, which I leverage to pioneer novel approaches for identifying and assessing structural anomalies across diverse materials.

During my tenure in the Master’s Program at ASU, active involvement in Devil’s Invent Hackathons honed my ability to swiftly prototype intricate Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), resulting in multiple accolades. Beyond academia, I experiment with small-scale electronics and robotics projects during leisure, fostering continuous learning and staying abreast of industry advancements.

Driven by the aspiration to effect positive change, I am committed to leveraging my research endeavors to address real-world challenges, fueled by an unwavering enthusiasm for exploration and discovery.
