Anirudh Mazumder, a highly motivated high school student at Grapevine High School in Texas and alumnus of CCIR, has showcased an exceptional passion for programming, robotics and mathematics. As a civic innovation fellow at Civics Unplugged, Anirudh has undergone an intensive civic leadership program that prepares hundreds of civic-minded high school students each year with the knowledge and skills to produce novel solutions to well-defined community and societal problems. Additionally, he serves as the co-captain of the CTMS FLL robotics team (Octo-Pi), which qualified for the regionals, marking the first time in over six years that a FLL robotics team accomplished such an honor at CTMS.
Anirudh is also a participant in the Duke University Talent Identification Program, where he was recognised at both State Recognition Ceremonies in Texas and the Grand Recognition Ceremony. As part of CCIR’s Cambridge Future Scholar programme, Anirudh collaborated with another student, Aditya, on a research project titled, “Kinematic Controller of a Soft Continuum Robot Using Learned Forward Models”. Their exceptional work earned high praise from their professor mentor, and the research paper was deemed to be of graduate-level quality.
We are thrilled to announce that Anirudh’s research paper has been accepted for oral presentation at the MIT Undergraduate Research Conference (MIT URTC), an internationally-renowned research conference. This conference showcases the incredible breakthroughs in engineering and technological research made by undergraduate-level student researchers from all over the country.
