I am a senior machine learning engineer at Avesha Inc. Before that, I was a research engineer at IBM Research – India. I received my master’s in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2017. My primary research interests lie in Reinforcement Learning and Stochastic Optimal Control. Recently, I have started exploring the role of Game Theory in making multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithms more practical to real-world business applications.
Amongst the application domains, I am interested in Supply chains, Smart grids, and Robotics. On the software engineering side, I built several Blockchain-based solutions for the Finance and Auto manufacturing sectors. I am currently building AI-based solutions for various use-cases in supply chains. More broadly, I am excited by research at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and software engineering.
