Mihir grew up in the Bay Area, and is a third year undergraduate student studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS). He is currently working with Professor Kris Pister on using MEMS to develop novel microrobots. In the past, he has worked on materials science research where he investigated optoelectronic properties of various heterostructures and monolayers. His research interests include combining the fields of robotics and microprocessor design to make devices that can help with energy efficiency and minimally invasive surgeries. In his free time, he loves to watch and play basketball and go for hikes.
