About

Dr. Yanumula Venkata Karteek joined IIT Mandi in January, 2025. He received a PhD degree from IIT Guwahati in the domain of Systems, Control and Automation in 2018. He joined as a research scholar after receiving B.Tech in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Acharya Nagarjuna University. His research interests include connected and autonomous vehicles, robotics, distributed and nonlinear control. During the PhD research, he worked on consensus problems of multi-agent systems with time-delays. Stability analysis is performed using both classical and Lyapunov approaches and the results are validated on mobile robots and networked non-mobile agents. He worked as an Assistant Professor at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET), Patiala from 2017 to 2024. He worked as a postdoc between February 2020 and July 2021 (on leave from TIET), at Technical University of Crete, Greece, under the guidance of Prof. Markos Papageorgiou and Prof. Ioannis Papamichail, within the project of TrafficFluid under ERC Horizon grant. During the postdoc duration and currently, he has been working on path planning of a large number of autonomous vehicles with coordination. He is also working on coordinated control of two 6DoF robotic arms
