About Me
I am a Ph.D. research scholar at IIIT Allahabad, specializing in Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning with a strong passion for Artificial Intelligence, Swarm Robotics, and Collective Intelligence in Multi Agent Systems. My research focuses on designing intelligent, decentralized multi agent systems for real-world applications such as search and rescue missions, defense automation, and adaptive path planning.
With a solid foundation in machine learning, multi-agent, and swarm simulation, I aim to bridge theoretical advances with impactful solutions for national development. I am deeply motivated to contribute to cutting-edge research that strengthens the technological backbone of our country.
Beyond academia, I enjoy exploring diverse interests such as wildlife photography, gardening, and traveling across India—finding inspiration in nature and culture alike. I believe in continuous learning, meaningful collaboration, and using technology as a force for societal good.
Vision & Motivation
At the core of my academic journey lies an insatiable curiosity to understand intelligent behavior—not just in individuals, but in collectives. I am driven by the challenge of translating theoretical frameworks into scalable, real-world systems that can support humanitarian missions, national security, and sustainable technological growth.
I believe that collaborative innovation, grounded in ethical principles, can shape a better future. Whether it's developing autonomous systems for disaster response, defence requirements or building robust learning algorithms for dynamic environments, my work is guided by a vision of technology that serves nation.
My motivation comes from:
- Curiosity and continuous learning in emerging fields of AI
- Collaboration and teamwork that empowers shared intelligence
- Integrity and ethical research as the foundation of trustworthy systems
- Innovation for social good, aligning academic rigor with real-world needs
My Journey
My academic journey is a story of curiosity evolving into purpose.
- High School (10th Standard): My fascination with technology began early. During school, I developed a strong interest in science and logical reasoning, which gradually nurtured my passion for problem-solving and analytical thinking.
- Senior Secondary (12th Standard): I chose Science with Mathematics as my stream in higher secondary education, which laid the groundwork for my interest in computers and their wide-ranging applications.
- Bachelor’s Degree (B.Sc.): During my undergraduate studies, I was introduced to programming, algorithms, data structures, and discrete mathematics—core subjects that sparked a deeper curiosity and strengthened my love for computer science. This foundational phase not only enhanced my analytical thinking but also solidified my passion for exploring intelligent systems and computational logic.
- Master’s Degree (M.Sc.): During my postgraduate studies, I was introduced to advanced algorithms, data structures, and core concepts in computer science, which laid a strong theoretical foundation for exploring machine learning, intelligent systems etc.
- Master’s Degree (M.Tech): During my second postgraduate journey, I was introduced to classical machine learning algorithms, probability theory, and robotics. This exposure sparked a deep interest in robotics and the emergent behavior of multi-agent systems.
- Ph.D. (Ongoing): At IIIT Allahabad, I’ve immersed myself in the field of Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning, working on decentralized decision-making, swarm behavior modeling, and real-time optimization. My focus now lies in mission-critical applications like UAV-based search and rescue operations and collective coordination.
Beyond Research
Outside of research labs and code, I find joy and meaning in the simple, grounding elements of life.
- Wildlife Photography: Capturing fleeting moments in nature—especially big cats — connects me to the raw intelligence and beauty of nature.
- Travel: Exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures of India enriches my perspective, reminding me of the human aspect behind every algorithm I build.
- Gardening: Growing plants teaches me patience, resilience, and the interconnectedness of all living systems.
