Master's Students
Vaansh Mansharamani
Master's Student in Artificial Intelligence, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Vaansh is a master’s student in Artificial Intelligence at WPI. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at WPI, where he completed his MQP through a joint study with Kyoto University of Advanced Science on using neural networks to map wall-interaction forces onto drones. His current research applies artificial intelligence to semantic communication in multi-drone systems, supported by a simulation platform he helped develop for data collection and experimentation.
