About Me

Hello! I’m Srivatsan Varadarajan. I am a research scientist with an enduring passion for engineering large, complex, safety & security critical cyber-physical systems and also a technologist at heart that derives great satisfaction from maturing relevant solutions from concept to prototype and eventually transitioning them to fielded products that need to adapt real-time to deployment situations with practical constraints.

I am currently a Technical Engineering Fellow associated with Safe Autonomous Systems group within Advanced Technology which supports Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) side of Honeywell’s Aerospace business.
