Darsh Gupta
Aerospace, RF and embedded systems, built through school, self-study, research writing, and actual hardware work.
Grade 12 student in Bengaluru building at the intersection of aerospace, RF, firmware, SDR, and machine learning.
This page is the academic and technical through-line: what I am studying, how I learn, where I have worked, and which kinds of problems I keep choosing on purpose.

Current Focus
RCS surrogate research, autonomous aircraft systems, SDR signal pipelines, and turning school math into engineering intuition that survives contact with real hardware.
Featured Learning Tracks
Code-SDR
FPGA pipelines, RF front-end thinking, ADC throughput, measurement workflows, and how signal-processing ideas become hardware constraints.
SDR / RF / Signal Processing
RCS Surrogate Research
Machine-learning models for fast aerospace design screening, plus a stronger habit of literature review, validation, and writing clearly under technical uncertainty.
ML / Aerospace / Research
School to Systems
CBSE PCMC, AP prep, SAT work, technical notes, and the steady translation layer between formal academics and self-directed project work.
Academics / Systems / Writing
Current Build Pipeline
Learn the Base
Physics, math, coding fundamentals, and enough theory to know what the equations are trying to say in hardware terms.
Design & Simulate
Modeling, circuit planning, fluid and EM intuition, feasibility checks, and early-stage tradeoff work before fabrication.
Build & Integrate
Firmware, boards, sensors, protocols, and the unglamorous systems work needed to make a project coherent.
Test & Validate
Bench testing, RF checks, debugging, logging, and the part where assumptions have to earn the right to stay.
Write & Iterate
Research papers, notes, GitHub documentation, and the next round of questions that make the next build smarter.
Research & Academic Threads
ML-Based Rapid RCS Estimation for UAV Stealth
Regression models, dataset strategy, simulation-informed validation, and a practical roadmap for using ML as a screening layer before full-wave electromagnetic analysis.
2026
Open Doc
Aircraft Diffusion CFD
Generative aerodynamic design work combining diffusion-style modeling with computational fluid dynamics and structural constraints.
Active
GitHub
School + AP + SAT Layer
CBSE PCMC as the academic base, with AP and SAT preparation functioning less like separate checklists and more like extra reps in math, physics, and technical writing.

Experience Timeline
26
Grade 12 / Independent Builder
Drone-v2, SDR, RCS surrogate models, project documentation, and the stretch from school coursework into aerospace systems thinking.
2026
The main thread now is integration: hardware, simulation, firmware, and writing all feeding each other.
25
Minvayu FabLab Internship
Embedded and fabrication support in a real lab environment, including printer recovery, controller work, and practical debugging under time pressure.
2025
This is where “working alone on hardware” stopped being abstract and started meaning responsibility.
23
Competitions, MUNs, and Early Aerospace Programs
Skill Titans recognition, HMUN and Techfest MUN participation, Astro Space Camp, and a growing bias toward technical work that can be explained clearly.
2023-2024
The communication layer became a real skill instead of an afterthought.
21
Foundation Years
Programming, electronics, robotics, sensors, and the long self-study runway that made later project work possible.
2021+
Started broad, then kept narrowing toward aerospace, RF, and embedded systems.
