Subhadeep Koley

CS PhD student at Lehigh University

Hi!, I’m Subhadeep, a CS PhD student at Lehigh University. I work with Professor David Saldana as a part of the Swarms Lab. You will find my resume here and my Google scholar here..

What am I working on?

I have just completed the first year of my PhD, and am trying to find a research direction for myself. I am interested in a couple of problems:

  1. Aerial robot navigation in turbulent flows: How can robots collaborate and share information to tackle turbulent air flows and reach their goals.
  2. Modelling complex physical interactions using Model-based Reinforcement Learning.

A semi-professional summary

Details regarding my experiences are available in my resume. Here’s a brief summary:

  • Have 2.5+ years of experience of research in the fields of robotics and UAVs.
  • Developed a ROS framework for a decentralized drone swarm that supports leader-follower mode and independent missions, which was used to deploy a swarm of 5 drones at IIT Kanpur
  • Developed network monitoring and ROS based congestion control tools for moving mesh networks
  • Co-authored a paper on thermal runaway of Lithium-ion batteries that won the best paper award at a conference and a paper on multi-robot pursuit evasion at Conference of Robot Learning (CORL ‘24)
