Harsha completed his Master's in Aeronautics from Caltech in 2018 and Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati in 2015. He worked for a year at Reliance Industries as a Graduate Engineering Trainee, and for a year at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad as a full-time researcher before coming to Caltech. His current research focuses on numerical modelling of thin shell deployable structures.
