About Me

Namaste! 🙏 Welcome to my portfolio website!

I’m Parth, a Ph.D. research intern at Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore (SRI-B) and a doctoral researcher at IIT Roorkee, working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Wireless Communication. 🎓

My research focuses on distributed and federated learning, decentralized AI, and divergence-based optimization techniques, with applications in channel modeling, communication-efficient learning, and secure multi-agent systems. 🤖💡

I also explore IoT, sensor fusion, and edge intelligence, where AI/ML methods are integrated with real-world communication systems to enable low-latency, privacy-preserving, and scalable solutions for next-generation networks. 🌐📡

From algorithm design to hardware-level implementation, I enjoy bridging the gap between theory and practice — building systems that are not only mathematically robust but also deployable in real-world communication environments. 🛠️

I’m passionate about advancing AI-native communication systems for 6G, creating innovative technologies that make a tangible impact and push the boundaries of what’s possible in wireless research. 🚀✨

Join me on this journey of research, innovation, and collaboration as we shape the future of intelligent communication systems. 🌈📡
