Senior🎓
Top SchoolHimani Sinhmar is a robotics researcher and postdoctoral associate at Princeton with 11 years of engineering and research experience focused on theoretically grounded, nature-inspired decision-making for autonomous systems. She blends dynamical systems, control theory, and insights from neuroscience and collective behavior to design adaptive planners and controllers for single- and multi-robot teams, with an emphasis on verifiable safety and resource-efficient onboard execution. Her PhD in Robotics from Cornell underpins work that spans real-world demonstrations—from Stretch and iRobot platforms to Crazyflie UAVs—and simulation tools including custom Unity environments for microscale origami robots. Prior projects include Lyapunov-based decentralized control for biased sensing and fault-tolerant relative navigation for spacecraft, reflecting a knack for principled solutions in constrained, safety-critical settings. Based in New York, she couples rigorous theory with hardware co-design to deliver real-time, certifiable autonomy.
