Summary
Gaurav Harish is an MSc Robotics student and graduate research assistant at Northeastern University with 8 years of software and embedded systems experience spanning robotics, computer vision, and ML. He has shipped production features and infrastructure at Amadeus—improving performance, security, and mobile load times—while also building FPGA-accelerated terrain classification and ROS2 navigation stacks for multi-robot deployments in academia. Comfortable across cloud, edge, and embedded stacks, he has optimized models via knowledge distillation to cut size 40% for robot deployment and automated developer workflows to reduce onboarding effort by over 60%. He mentors hundreds of graduate students in reinforcement learning and has practical co-op experience in industry-leading labs like Pfizer. Notably, he blends low-level STM32 firmware and perception pipelines with high-level system design, enabling end-to-end autonomy from sensors to cloud. He is seeking internships that bridge LLMs, computer vision, and robotics to translate research into robust, scalable systems.
