About Me: I am an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad, specializing in physics-informed novel neural architectures. Prior to that I worked as a Research Associate at Department of Electrical Communication Engineering, IISc Bangalore. I earned my PhD in Machine Learning from the Department of Mathematics, IIT Roorkee, where I focused on developing innovative support vector machines and demonstrating their applications in solving real-world challenges. My research interests lie in physics-inspired neural networks, support vector machines, and neural machine translation. I am passionate about bridging the gap between theoretical advancements and practical applications, contributing to the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. My work has been published in reputed journals. As an educator, I strive to create an engaging and interactive learning environment, fostering critical thinking, innovation, and problem-solving skills among my students. Beyond academics, I actively seek collaborations with industry and research institutions to drive impactful projects. I also mentor students in their research works, guiding them to explore new frontiers in deep learning.
