Pawan Kumar

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at Arizona State University, advised by Prof. Hokeun Kim. My research interests include embedded systems, cyber-physical systems, robotics, and machine learning.

My recent work focuses on collaborative robotic systems, particularly UAV–UGV platforms, where I study energy-aware mission planning, charging coordination, and adaptive operation in practical environments. I previously completed my M.S. in Computer Engineering at Arizona State University, where my thesis explored a cost-effective cyber-physical system prototype for precision agriculture with a focus on crop growth.

I am broadly interested in building practical, intelligent, and scalable systems that connect sensing, computation, and autonomy for real-world applications.
