Kartikeya's research focus lies at the intersection of design, manufacturing and robotics. During Kartikeya's engineering journey in India, he actively took on projects during his undergraduate years, skilfully navigating logistical, financial constraints, and inherent limitations. These challenges fuelled innovation, propelling Kartikeya to creatively design prototypes and projects, optimising designs within the given constraints and making the solutions more economical. The pursuit of efficient material usage due to limitations became a cornerstone, laying the foundation for sustainable design engineering.

Design optimisation, a guiding principle in Kartikeya's work, extends beyond immediate challenges, fostering more sustainable designs. It serves as a key element for cost savings, careful material use, and thoughtful end-of-life considerations. Embracing additive manufacturing techniques, Kartikeya contributes to minimising waste and resource consumption, weaving a compelling narrative of innovation and sustainability in his research endeavours.

Explore the tangible outcomes of this approach in Kartikeya's projects and witness how design optimisation is not just about overcoming challenges but also shaping a future where sustainable practices seamlessly integrate into the fabric of engineering innovation.
