About
Hi! I am a PhD student at MPI-SWS (Max Planck Institute for Software Systems), Germany. My advisor is Prof. Rupak
Majumdar.
I completed B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology (India) in 2012 and M.Tech in System and Control from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (India) in 2015. During my M.Tech, I was visiting TU-Berlin (Germany) for one semester (winter 2014-15) to work on my master thesis under the supervision of Anne-Kathrin Schmuck and Prof. Jörg Raisch.
I did an internship at MPI-SWS with Prof. Rupak Majumdar for three months in 2015, before joining as a PhD student with him in 2016.
Research interest
My research interests are in formal verification and control of dynamical systems, which are either continuous or discrete, stochastic or non-stochastic, and with a distributed or a monolithic structure.
Please refer to my recent publications to know more.
