About Me

Hello! I’m Ratan Kokal, a sophomore at IIT Bombay majoring in Aerospace Engineering, with a dual minor in Computer Science and Machine Learning & Data Science.

I enjoy looking at the world through a mathematical lens—formalizing concepts using axioms to make them universally interpretable. My academic interests span Control Theory, Special Relativity, and Economics, but I’m particularly drawn to Machine Learning, specifically Computer Vision. My fascination with self-driving cars sparked my curiosity in this field. That said, I’m always open to exploring new domains.

Beyond academics, I enjoy competitive programming and participating in Capture the Flag (CTF) events, constantly challenging myself to solve complex problems.
