I am an enthusiastic and motivated Electrical Engineer, with a specialization in Power Electronics technology (a field that converts, controls, and conditions electric power). I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), under the guidance Prof. Vinod John. I majorly work on switched-mode power converters, energy storage systems, and optimal power electronics for renewable energy applications.
