I
am a Senior Research Scientist
working with the Embedded Systems
and Networks group of United
Technologies Research Center Inc..
My recent research interests include
applying Optimization methods to
problems of resource allocation,
filtering and design arising in
practical settings. Previously, I
was a Post-doctoral Researcher with
the Center
for
Control Dynamical Systems and
Computation.
I
received my Ph.D. in Mechanical
Engineering from University of
California at Santa Barbara, with
emphasis on Pursuit Strategies for
Autonomous Vehicles. Prior to that,
I completed my Bachelor of
Technology (B.Tech.) in Mechanical
Engineering as well as Master of
Technology (M.Tech.) with
specialization in
Computer-Aided-Design and Automation
(CADA) from Indian
Institute of Technology, Bombay.

Research
My
research interests include applying
techniques from Optimization and
Control theory to problems in the
domains of resource allocation,
filtering and abstraction-based
design.
Since
my Post-doctoral stint, I have
developed keen interest in applying
randomization techniques to provide
efficient solutions to large
dimensional optimization problems.
Specific scenarios include partial
information, non-cooperative games.
Applications of this work are
envisioned in providing efficient
security solutions to computer
networks as well as in problems
which demonstrate exponential
complexity.
In my doctoral research, I worked on
problems belonging to two classes --
Pursuit-evasion and dynamic vehicle
routing. I have considered
pursuit-evasion games with sensing
limitations and motion constraints,
for which I have developed provably
correct pursuit strategies for one
or more pursuers to capture a mobile
evader in specified environments.
Dynamic vehicle routing scenarios
arise when multiple targets arrive
randomly in a region and possess
known motion profiles. Provably
efficient pursuit strategies were
designed and the performance was
shown to be within constant factor
of the optimal. Please visit my research page
for
relevant publications.

Miscellaneous
My
favourite pastime is Music - both
listening to as well as playing.
Among outdoor and sport activities,
I take interest in jogging and the
game of Cricket. If I am doing
neither of these, I like spending
time with some recreational math.
