Research

At TCS R&I Labs, I've worked with Dr. Prasant Misra in Smart Mobility domain. I have started with working on developing a end-to-end system to identify parking violations at real-time using deep learning techniques. Now we are focussed on eMobility and working on solving the mismatch in supply-demand for Electric vehicle (EV) charging in order for the long-term growth of EV adoption. We are currently testing different RL techniques to build a control strategy to maximize the utilization of the EV charging ecosystem.

Apart from that, I am very interested in working on building autonomous systems and Robots. I am eager to pursue my options in this direction in the future.
