Summary
Radhika Ghosal is a sixth-year PhD student and Graduate Research Assistant at Harvard University specializing in high-performance compute hardware and systems for robotics, supported by an NSF GRFP. With a decade of experience spanning internships at Amazon Robotics, Intel, Microsoft, and EPFL, she blends systems-level hardware design, real-time robotic manipulation, and security-aware recovery for collaborative robots. Her projects range from FPGA-based DNN accelerator caches to trajectory recovery after cyber incidents and low-cost medical imaging hardware, showing comfort across both applied research and practical deployments. Based in Cambridge, MA, she repeatedly turns compiler and hardware research into running systems—she was the first undergraduate intern on Microsoft’s Project Catapult—and favors hands-on, “ware-hard” engineering that bridges theory and production.
