Interests:
Current interest/obsession is AI systems - dismantling the black-box which is called 'LLM'. Not just to understand the terminology around AI, but to understand how it works and how it can be used in effective way.
And apart from current interests, the interests have always been :
Formulating, Solving and modeling differential equations to model physical process, ranging from:
battery physics & vehicle systems
Vehicle dynamics
Tire modeling (contact mechanics and material non-linearity)
Disease model (SIR model)
Crime theory
Thermal systems | Aging models
Mechanics & Dynamics - Rigid body motion
ADAS & LIDAR systems (Rule based systems)
