Bharath Kalyan

Senior Research Fellow

Bharath Kalyan is currently with ARL, Tropical Marine Science Institute, National University of Singapore. Prior to joining ARL, he was working as a research staff at Intelligent Robotics Lab, Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore where he managed various underwater projects, primarily focusing on underwater sensing and Autonomous surface craft and underwater vehicle navigation.

Bharath was awarded a Ph.D degree by NTU for his research in the field of autonomous underwater vehicular navigation. Prior to this, he obtained his Bachelors degree in Electronics & Communication from R.V. College in Bangalore, India. Bharath’s research interests include Co-operative mobile Robotics, Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), Terrain aided Navigation, Multi-target Tracking, Random Finite Set Theory.

Apart from this Bharath also enjoys Scuba diving, Photography, Trekking, Running and anything that can get him away from the maddening crowds.
