Hello and welcome!

I am a PhD student at the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University working with Prof. Shreyas Sundaram and Prof. Mahsa Ghasemi. I am a part of the Institute for Control, Optimization and Networks (ICON) at Purdue. My research focuses on algorithmic advancements backed with theoretical guarantees for sequential decision-making under uncertainty, multi-agent decision making, reinforcement learning and control for agents pursuing tasks in complex environments. Some research problems I am interested in include online learning and control, task-oriented and resource-constrained knowledge acquisition, and multi-agent decision-making under adversarial attacks.

I graduated with a Master of Science from the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania in May 2021. At Penn, I was a graduate research assistant at the xLab for Safe Autonomous Systems, where I was advised by Prof. Rahul Mangharam. I worked on developing and integrating learning algorithms into Model Predictive Controllers (MPC) to achieve successful overtaking maneuvers in autonomous racing. This work was based on the F1tenth platform.

Prior to this, I received my bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Gold Medal) from RV College of Engineering, Bengaluru, India.
