About

I am a PhD researcher at the MPSC Lab working with Nirmalya Roy. My research focuses on multi-agent systems, with a particular emphasis on addressing challenges in contested environments. Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at the MiCoSys Lab with Saptarshi Sengupta, where I developed deep learning methods for predicting the remaining useful life of lithium-ion batteries.
