My current research is aimed at developing efficient strategies to enable devices, objects, and, in general, "things" to cooperate and coordinate with each other and solve problems to help us live a smooth and healthy life. 

Precisely, my interests are as follows -

(a) Make devices/things capable of speaking to each other, form a colony, and cooperate with humans to solve critical problems 

(b) Make things intelligent so that they can also think and take necessary measures when they face any known or unforeseen situation

(c) Teach the things to preserve secrecy, maintain privacy, and build trust 

(d) Above all, make them learn how to suppress competition and go for cooperation

In pure technical terms, I work in Distributed Intelligence, Internet-of-Things, Wireless Sensor Networks, and their applications in Multi-Robot Systems, Smart-Grid, and a few other areas.

At IIT Bhubaneswar, I am leading the Distributed and Smart Systems Research Group (DSSRG). Click here for updates.
