Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley

Nimita Mishra

I’m interested in machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and challenging myself to deeply understand problems that have yet to be solved.

Right now: working on onboard vision tracking for a ping-pong robot @ EMBER Center (BAIR), reinforcement learning, and understanding quantum physics.

A face to the name.

Start anywhere.

There isn’t one correct way through a person.

  1. Things I’ve builtA ping-pong robot, floor plans, GPU error logs, and the things I’m building next.
  2. Inside my brainQuestions about learning, space, probability, physics, and how people change.
  3. Life latelyPhotos, music, places, languages, and the details I keep.
  4. About meThe slightly more coherent version of who I am and what I’m trying to do.
  5. RésuméThe current one-page software engineering and ML version.

Research @ EMBER Center (BAIR)Current

Teaching a ping-pong robot to see for itself

I’m working @ EMBER Center (BAIR) on onboard vision tracking for the humanoid table-tennis robot from HITTER and LATTE-MV, so it can track the ball without relying on a motion-capture room.

Part-time @ Trisetra AICurrent

Teaching machines to read floor plans

Part-time @ Trisetra AI, I develop computer-vision, OCR, preprocessing, and geometric-analysis systems for extracting walls, rooms, labels, and spatial relationships from difficult architectural drawings. I also lead the company website’s Next.js and React implementation.

Software Engineering Intern @ AMDCompleted

Making error reports easier to understand

As a Software Engineering Intern @ AMD, I designed and deployed a React dashboard for real-time hardware error-log visualization and contributed to a computer-vision pipeline for detecting missing capacitors on GPU boards.

Onboard vision tracking for a ping-pong robot @ EMBER Center (BAIR), floor plans part-time @ Trisetra AI, and this website :D.

Learning

Reinforcement learning, Quantum Physics, and how to become the best version of myself.

Thinking about

What kind of technical work I want to become exceptional at.

One last door

Say hi! :)

Especially if you’re building something exciting, have thoughts on something here, or just think we’d get along. I’d love to hear from you!
