Utkarsh
Chaddah

Aspiring roboticist, with one eye on the sky.

I build things that move and study things that don't wait for anyone — splitting my time between robotics workbenches and astrophysics data. Currently a student researcher, competitor, and builder with a growing shelf of small machines.

01 — Signal

About

I'm drawn to problems that sit between physics and engineering — reading a Doppler shift one week, wiring an ultrasonic sensor the next. I like taking something abstract (an equation, a signal, a dataset) and turning it into something that moves, lights up, or tells you something true. Outside of the lab and the workbench, I compete, perform, and keep pushing my French toward fluency.
