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. 🌈📡

Thesis: Information-Theoretic Divergence Measure based Algorithms for Adaptive Filtering and Distributed Estimation.

Designed adaptive algorithm for error-in-variable (EIV) environment, validated through Amari alpha-divergence measure based channel estimation for pilot-contaminated multicell MIMO systems, ensuring accurate channel estimates even when both pilot signals and received signals are corrupted by noise, improving reliability of channel estimation in multicell MIMO systems.
Developed computationally efficient adaptive algorithm using β-divergence measure for system identification and channel estimation, robust under non-Gaussian interference in communication channels, achieving faster convergence than conventional robust methods and supporting real-time communication system requirements.
Developed divergence-based distributed channel estimation schemes for multiuser MIMO under pilot contamination using consensus and diffusion strategies with Amari alpha-divergence measure based cost function, and demonstrated mean and mean-square stable convergence with improved MSE/MSD performance compared to centralized estimators.
Introduced block-sparsity-aware adaptive algorithms for IoT communication systems, reducing update overhead and enabling efficient echo cancellation and sparse multipath channel estimation in resource-constrained sensor networks.
Designed communication-efficient federated learning frameworks using selective updates and model compression, reducing communication overhead between devices and server while maintaining model accuracy in resource-constrained edge networks.
Published findings in 6 journals and 10 IEEE conferences, with 6 additional journal papers and 1 patent currently under review.
