Gokularam M Assistant Professor Department of Data Science (MFSDSAI) Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad
Research Interests Private Data Analysis – Non-parametric Algorithms – Robust Statistical Inference – Machine Learning – Estimation and Detection – Information Theory – Signal Processing for Distributed Radar Systems and Wireless Communication
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Data Science at IIT Palakkad. I am passionate about research and teaching, and my research interests include differential privacy, machine learning, robust statistical inference, estimation and detection, information theory, and radar and wireless communication systems.
I was a Research Fellow with the Center of Data for Public Good (CDPG), IISc, from October 2025 to September 2026, where my research focused on privacy-preserving techniques for real-world data. Prior to that, I briefly served as a research fellow collaborating with VSSC, ISRO on signal processing techniques for the accurate extraction of physical parameters in radio occultation studies.
I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Madras in 2025. During my doctoral studies, I worked on enhancing utility in privacy-preserving statistical learning, signal processing for communication and distributed radar systems, and the development of non-parametric and tuning-free machine learning algorithms. I also hold an M.S. degree from IIT Madras and a B.E. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore.
