Welcome to my homepage! I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Indore. I lead innovative research on the control and dynamics of converter infeed power systems, aiming to enhance performance and stability in modern electrical grids.

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Electrical Engineering at both Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, and KU Leuven, Belgium. I received my PhD in control and dynamics of HVDC grids from IIT Bombay. Additionally, I have worked on the prestigious Horizon 2020 POSYTYF Project at ECN France.

Actively looking for motivated undergraduate and postgraduate students who are passionate about the dynamics and control study of converter infeed power systems. Please drop me an email with your CV.
