experior, ergo sum

a tinkerer's log

Welcome to my website! I'm Rishav (ऋषभ), and this is where I document my tinkerings and research. I am interested in both theoretical and applied problems of control and estimation theory. I am genuinely astounded by what Eugene Wigner described as the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics as the language of nature. I also enjoy embedded systems, from breadboard prototyping and PCB design to writing embedded firmware.

I must emphasize that, on this website, I write as a learner and do not pretend to be a professional in the field. I maintain a growing list of ideas and problems that I like to study and ponder in my own time. Writing about them gives me a reason to study topics in detail and prevents me from having a false sense of understanding. Virutally every blog post is first read and edited by my wife, Sriza, before I consider it ready for publication. She does an excellent job of spotting flaws in my reasoning.

Please feel free to write to me, especially if what I share aligns with your interests — whether as feedback or to point out any errors.
