Hello, I’m Soham Katlariwala, born on 29 May 2005. I am a pre-final year concurrent bachelor's student, currently pursuing a B.S. in Data Science and Applications with a Minor in Economics and Finance at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, alongside a
B.E. (Hons.) in Computer Engineering with a Specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Gujarat Technological University (GTU).

I proudly secured an All India Rank of 71 in the Computer Informatics Olympiad, which reflects my deep-rooted passion for logic, problem-solving, and computational thinking.

I have a strong academic interest in both Physics and Computer Science, and my enthusiasm for these subjects has continuously guided my learning and achievements. My academic journey has evolved into a strong passion for research across interdisciplinary domains.

My research interests include:
🔹 Reinforcement Learning – intelligent agents, decision-making under uncertainty
🔹 Neuroscience and Brain Imaging – analysis of fMRI, MRI, EEG, and ERP signals
🔹 Quantum Communication and Quantum Computing – secure communication protocols and quantum systems
🔹 Differential Equations – mathematical modeling of complex systems in science and engineering

I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, and I come from a close-knit, value-driven family. I'm the son of Biren Ramanlal Katlariwala and Kunjal Biren Katlariwala, and I enjoy spending time with my family, playing chess, and exploring new ideas and places.

I live by four core principles that guide me every day:
🔹 Hard Work
🔹 Self-Belief
🔹 Self-Motivation
🔹 Eagerness to Learn and Grow
