Research Interests

My research focuses on the development of intelligent, autonomous, and energy-efficient systems by integrating artificial intelligence, robotics, embedded electronics, sensing, and renewable-energy technologies. The major areas of interest include:

• Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning
• Autonomous Robots and Intelligent Vehicles
• Reinforcement Learning and Meta-Learning
• Computer Vision, Sensor Fusion, and Human–Robot Interaction
• Field Robotics, Human-Following Robots, and Surveillance Systems
• MEMS, Biocompatible Energy Harvesting, and Intelligent Thermal Management
• Solar Energy, DC Microgrids, and Renewable-Energy Systems

The research aims to translate intelligent algorithms into practical hardware and robotic systems for applications in autonomous mobility, healthcare, renewable energy, environmental monitoring, and human-assistive technologies.

Academic Outreach and Capacity Building

I actively contribute to academic outreach, professional training, and capacity-building activities in artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, deep learning, embedded systems, and emerging technologies. My major outreach activities include:

• Coordinating annual summer training programmes at IIIT Allahabad, including AITA-2023 and the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics programmes, providing theory and hands-on training to students, researchers, faculty members, and professionals.

• Organizing international workshops on Generative AI and Human–Robot Interaction at IIIT Allahabad.

• Serving as a resource person and expert for faculty development programmes and training sessions conducted by organizations such as NCERT, the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa, UPES Dehradun, and other academic institutions.

• Delivering invited talks on artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, field robotics, renewable energy, and biocompatible energy-harvesting technologies.

• Supporting student innovation through robotics projects, laboratory development, hands-on technical activities, and interdisciplinary research mentoring.

• Contributing to the establishment and development of the STEM & Innovation Center and the Virtual Intelligence Laboratory at IIIT Allahabad.

• Promoting academia–industry interaction through collaborative projects, technical consultancy, workshops, internships, and student-oriented training programmes.

These activities aim to make advanced technologies accessible to learners from diverse academic backgrounds and encourage practical, interdisciplinary, and socially relevant innovation.
