What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to apply my research skills in real-world applications.

I am a dedicated Research Scientist with a PhD from IIT BHU and over 5 years of experience specializing in reinforcement learning, integer programming, and metaheuristics. My work has led to the publication of more than 7 peer-reviewed papers and a patent for an innovative AIoT system, showcasing my ability to translate complex problems into practical solutions through advanced algorithms like PPO, Q learning, and DDPG.

As a Teaching Assistant at IIT BHU, I have guided numerous undergraduate and graduate projects in areas such as optimization algorithms and IoT systems, with many of my mentees presenting their work at national conferences. My commitment to education and research is reflected in my achievements, including the Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship and an ACM India Research Grant. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to cutting-edge research and mentor the next generation of scientists.
