Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSrikar Gouru is a robotics and AI-focused graduate student at Carnegie Mellon with eight years of hands-on experience building autonomous systems, from flight software at SpaceX to motion planning leadership for UVA’s autonomous racing team. He specializes in motion and path planning, proficient in C++, Python, and Rust, and has accelerated multi-agent exploration algorithms by 200x through pruning, parallelization, and mTSP heuristics. His work spans research and product contexts—designing secure deployment tooling for flight operations, creating benchmarked planning libraries at Zipline, and developing explainability tools for unsupervised clustering. Comfortable with both low-level embedded control and high-level planning, he also applies his technical curiosity to personal hardware projects like Rubik’s Cube solvers and VTOL aircraft. Based in Herndon, VA, Srikar combines competitive academic pedigree with practical system-building instincts to tackle complex autonomy challenges.
