Hi, I’m Shiva — friends call me Shiraku.
Also known as Shivaram, Shivaram Kumar, Shivaram K, Shivaram K Jagannathan, Shivaram Kumar J, Shivaram Jagannathan, S. K. Jagannathan.
Robotics researcher · Algorithmic Robotics Group, NTU Singapore
I’m a researcher working at the intersection of robotics and intelligence — classical robotics, spatial intelligence, machine learning, and real-world robot deployments.
Right now I’m at ARG, NTU Singapore, under Dr. Yoonchang Sung — using visual priors to inform robot decision-making, and 3D reconstruction for object search in cluttered scenes.
