Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVibhakar Mohta is a research engineer focused on deployable robotics and machine learning solutions, blending eight years of hands-on experience across autonomous driving, perception, and control. Educated at IIT Kharagpur and CMU MRSD, he has moved algorithms from research to road — from drivable-region segmentation and path-tracking on an electric vehicle to scaling transformer-based behavior prediction in complex urban environments. His work spans uncertainty estimation for regression tasks, data-driven safety metrics for high-speed truck autonomy, and aligning behavior foundation models with reinforcement learning. Based in Mountain View, he combines academic teaching experience with production engineering at startups and labs, and is comfortable shipping end-to-end systems that bridge ML research and real-world deployment. An underrated strength is his cross-disciplinary fluency—mechanical systems intuition paired with modern deep-learning and control techniques—which helps him pragmatically close the loop from simulation to vehicle.
