Shrutheesh Iyer is a robotics-focused doctoral student at Purdue with eight years of hands-on experience building perception and planning systems for real-world autonomy. He contributed to launching the first commercial autonomous truck in the U.S. at Aurora, specializing in long-range lidar-based 3D detection and multimodal perception, and has a track record of turning research ideas into production-capable code. His academic work at the CoMMA Lab emphasizes reactive and constraint-based motion planning, complementing prior research in visual odometry and teleoperation at IISc. He has led UAV vision teams in international competitions and built scalable data pipelines for academic finance research, demonstrating both systems thinking and applied machine learning. Based in West Lafayette with MS studies from UC San Diego, he blends deep technical rigor with practical deployment experience across industry and academia.
