About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus. Prior to this, I was a Post-Doctoral Scholar in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida, advised by Dr. Amrit Singh Bedi.
I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IE&OR) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, under the supervision of Prof. N. Hemachandra. My thesis focused on Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning and Decision Making, for which I received the IEOR Alumnus Endowment Excellence in Doctoral Dissertation Award.
Internship requests are considered only if accompanied by a recommendation from a known academic acquaintance. I may not respond to unsolicited requests for internships.
