About Me
I am currently a PhD student in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. I hold an undergraduate degree in Ocean Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India.
My current research revolves around the intersection of physics informed methods with bayesian inference advised by Dr. Peter Meckl and Dr. Ilias Bilionis. My core interests lie in control theory, uncertainty quantification and machine learning.
Prior to joining Purdue university, I worked with Dr. Abhilash Somayajula at IITM on comprehensive comparative study of various control methodologies, ranging from classical based controllers to AI based controllers, with a specific application in active heave compensation.
When not immersed in research, I am an avid photographer who enjoys capturing the beauty of the world around me. I also find solace in swimming, which not only keeps me fit but also serves as a meditative escape. Furthermore, I take pleasure in watching movies, appreciating the art of storytelling and the power it holds to transport us to different realms.
