# Arin Weling

> Electrical engineer working across intelligent hardware, robotics, and reliable machine learning.

I'm an electrical engineer from IIT Bombay and an incoming M.S. student in Electrical Engineering at Stanford. My work spans semiconductor devices, hardware verification, robotics, and machine-learning systems, with experience in 3D NAND reliability, AI-assisted hardware debugging, and autonomous robots.

## Education

- M.S. Electrical Engineering, Stanford University (2026) — incoming

## About

I recently completed my B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay, with Honours in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. I'm now an incoming M.S. student in Electrical Engineering at Stanford. I like working across the boundaries between physical devices, computation, and intelligent systems. My work has included research on the reliability of 3D NAND flash memory, leadership of IIT Bombay's multidisciplinary Mars Rover Team, AI-assisted hardware debugging at NVIDIA, and applied-AI work at a startup. Outside engineering, I make animation and spatial work in Open Brush, and I enjoy projects where technical systems can also become expressive, tangible things.
