Hi! I am a Ph.D. student in Cyber-Physical Systems at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). My research bridges spatial computing and predictive dynamics, combining SLAM with World Models to build scalable action policies through Imitation Learning. My research interests span SLAM, World Models, 3D Vision, Imitation Learning, Physical AI for robotics.
Academic Background I hold an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati, where I was a Nav-i-GEE Research Fellow and secured the highest CGPA (9.81/10.0) in the PG Class of 2025. I completed my B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Calicut, where I was awarded the Dr. K.P. Raveendran Memorial Prize for the highest first-year CGPA (9.71/10.0). In competitive entrance exams, I got AIR 6777 in JEE (Advanced) and State Rank 537 in TS EAMCET.
I'm happy to explore research collaborations, depending on my bandwidth. You can reach me at sasidhar.alavala.work[at]gmail[dot]com or sasidharr[at]iisc[dot]ac[dot]in.
