Siddhant Shrivastava

Siddhant Shrivastava सिद्धांत

PhD candidate, SUTD · MARVL Lab · robust multi-robot systems for long-term autonomy

I’m a PhD candidate (since 2026) working on robust and intelligent multi-robot systems across domains. This includes robust perception, resilient coordination, and multimodal interfaces that help humans, robots, and the world around us work in harmony.

From 2018-2026 I worked on the parent field of robotics, cyber-physical systems, at iTrust. There I built attack detectors, automatic defences, and cyber twins for critical infrastructures such as water treatment plants and power grids, ran cyber-physical exercises with NATO CCDCOE and Singapore’s Ministry of Defence, and taught operational technology security to a wide range of audiences. Before that I was at Goldman Sachs, worked on a Mars rover with the Italian Mars Society during Google Summer of Code 2015, studied computer science at BITS Pilani, and learned about life at St. Joseph’s Academy, Dehradun, India.

My given name (which I really like) means tenets or first principles in Sanskrit. The logo of the site is a taijitu, from Jeet Kune Do a la Bruce Lee.
