# Bharath Mohan > Robotics @ UC Berkeley | B-Tech(Honours) @ IITM’25 | Capstone Student Ambassador Location: Berkeley, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/bharathmohan Hi there, it’s Bharath! I am a Mechanical Engineering M.Eng student at UC Berkeley, specialising in Control of Robotic and Autonomous Systems, with hands-on industry experience in new-product R&D and heavy engineering environments. My work spans robotics, control theory, and data-driven modelling for physical systems. My background spans autonomous vehicle control, state estimation, learning-based energy modelling, and hydrofoil system design. I have worked on nonlinear dynamics modelling, sim-to-real validation, and deploying autonomy stacks on physical platforms. Alongside robotics, I bring hands-on exposure to large-scale manufacturing environments, including fabrication workflows, structural validation, and quality assurance processes, including NDT and destructive testing in heavy engineering systems. I am particularly interested in building high-performance robotic and autonomous systems that operate reliably in the real world. Outside of engineering, I enjoy playing soccer, strength training, Formula 1, poetry and exploring film theory and storytelling. If our interests align, feel free to reach out. I would be glad to connect!

PDC's approach is to prioritize problem identification and understanding rather than jumping straight into solutions. Through developing and taking products that solve real-world problems to the market, we bridge design, technology, and business. ### Coordinator | Product Design Club @ Centre For Innovation (CFI) Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India ### Shipbuilding Engineering Intern @ Cochin Shipyard Limited Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Ernakulam, Kerala, India - Rotated across Ship Design & Production to understand end-to-end construction workflows for large steel structures - Analyzed block fabrication processes including plate preparation, CNC cutting, welding and structural assembly - Assisted in reviewing drawings and validating structural alignment and fit-up during hull block erection - Exposed to QA workflows including NDT (ultrasonic & radiographic) and DT (tensile, impact & hardness testing) ### Core | Sponsorship and PR @ Oceana, IIT Madras Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India Oceana, the official student body of the Department of Ocean Engineering at IIT Madras, is a thriving and dynamic student-run organization. With a strong community base, Oceana is responsible for organizing various department-related events and activities, ranging from technical workshops and seminars to cultural and sports events. By bringing together like-minded individuals and promoting collaboration and teamwork, Oceana has become an essential component of the vibrant campus culture at IIT Madras. Oceana is also responsible for hosting Wavez, India's biggest Student-run Ocean Engineering Fest. As the Sponsorship and PR Core I was a member of the Core Team and led a Sponsorship and PR team of 6 Managers and brought in some amazing sponsorship deals , partnerships and set a brand image for Oceana and Wavez. ### Trainer | Shaastra Workshops @ Shaastra, IIT Madras Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India As a trainer in the Shaastra Workshop 2023, "Concept-to-Product" through Design Thinking, I had the incredible opportunity to guide and inspire a diverse group of participants. This workshop, organized as part of the prestigious annual technical fest of IIT Madras, aimed to equip students from IIT Madras, other colleges, and working professionals with the knowledge and skills to transform ideas into tangible products. During my role as a trainer, I facilitated an engaging session that delved into the principles of Design Thinking. By employing interactive activities and practical examples, I empowered participants to adopt a comprehensive approach when bringing their ideas to life. Emphasizing the importance of a user-centric mindset, I demonstrated how Design Thinking can drive the creation of products that truly resonate with their intended audience. ### Associate Manager | Events and Networking @ E-Cell IIT Madras Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India ● Collaborated with 7 other associate managers to organize events under Innovator's Conclave for E-Summit '22 ● Organized Unconference, a business case-study competition, in collaboration with Frontrow ● Contacted industry experts through cold calling & emailing, securing their participation as mentors for Unconference ## Education ### MEng - Mechanical Engineering in Control of Robotic and Autonomous Systems University of California, Berkeley ### Bachelor of Technology (Honours) - BTech in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Madras ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/vbharathmohan - Portfolio: https://vbharathmohan.github.io/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/bharathmohan JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/bharathmohan/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
