About Me: I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad. I hold a Ph.D. from IIT Patna and have previously served as a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I am a member of the IEEE, actively engaged in advancing research and innovation in the fields of Cyber-Physical Systems, Optimization, Smart Grids, Electric Vehicles, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. My research is driven by the goal of developing practical, sustainable solutions to address contemporary challenges in modern infrastructure systems. I am particularly interested in the interdisciplinary intersection of intelligent systems and energy networks, and I strive to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and real-world applications.

Research Interest: Cyber Physical System, Optimization, Smart Grid, Electric Vehicle
