Ph.D. thesis received the prestigious Naik and Rastogi Award for Excellence in Ph.D. Research for the year 2023-2025; multiple papers accepted by IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, CDC 2025, and other conferences and journals.
Research Experience
Since October 2024, a Postdoctoral researcher at the Applied Mathematics and Physics Department, Kyoto University, Japan, working with Kenji Kashima; will join Georgia Tech's DCSL Lab as a Postdoc in early 2026, working with Panagiotis Tsiotras.
Education
Completed Ph.D. at The Centre for Systems & Control Engineering (SysCon), IIT Bombay in September 2024, under the supervision of Debasish Chatterjee and Ravi N. Banavar.
Background
Broadly interested in the mathematical theory of control and dynamical systems. Current research focus includes: optimal transport (especially discrete optimal transport and numerical methods), density transportation/steering of noisy partial differential equations, the interplay between bilevel and min-max optimization and their applications in machine learning and control, sparsity in optimization and optimal control.
Miscellany
Erdős number is 4; contact details include email and office address; has worked on various research topics including optimal control, approximation theory, model predictive control, probability and learning theory, and optimization algorithms.
