Nikhil Ranjit

Computer Engineering student at Santa Clara University interested in robotics, embedded systems, and autonomous systems. I enjoy building systems that integrate sensing, control, and hardware.

My projects range from soft robotic sensing research to safety-critical electrical systems in Formula SAE and autonomous drone simulation and control.

Much of my work focuses on understanding how robotic systems interact with the real world through sensing, control, and system design.
