About

Background

I'm an AI researcher & professor committed to the architecture optimization of deep learning algorithms.

Currently working as an Assistant Professor at the School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering (sAIDE), IIT Ropar, Punjab. My research field is the architecture optimization of deep learning algorithms and their applications to real-time systems for pattern recognition in data-driven systems.

My research findings are published in premier international journals including IEEE Transactions. Prior to IIT Ropar, I served for over 8 years at IIT Kanpur as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Research Scholar, conducting research on deep learning for engineering design automation, robotics, biometric authentication, and AI in 6G standardization.

As Faculty / AI Mentor at ReasonateAI, I guide the technical team on algorithmic rigor, closed-loop telemetry stability, mathematical verification of Dual-Twin environments, and intelligent fault diagnostics.
