About Me
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Indian Institute of Technology Indore, where my research focused on the development of efficient reinforcement learning algorithms with rigorous theoretical guarantees.
My research interests lie in reinforcement learning, encompassing both model-free and model-based approaches, with a particular emphasis on developing computationally efficient algorithms supported by rigorous theoretical convergence guarantees. My work draws on techniques from dynamic programming, reinforcement learning, and multi-agent reinforcement learning, especially in the context of two-player zero-sum stochastic games.
At Trinity, I am involved in the research project “Machine Learning for Sustainable Mobility,” which focuses on developing intelligent solutions for sustainable transportation systems. As part of this project, I contribute to the design and investigation of software platforms for Personalised Mobility as a Service (PMaaS), leveraging machine learning techniques to improve mobility planning, efficiency, and user experience.
