Engineer/Scientist III

Electric Power Research Institute

Hello!

Welcome to my website! I am an Engineer/Scientist III at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) with extensive experience in the research industry, specializing in the fields of Asset Management analytics, AI, Robotics, and Computer Vision. Since joining EPRI in 2019, I have been dedicated to developing innovative technologies that can benefit humanity. I earned my master’s degree with a thesis on “Human-Robot Cooperation Using EEG Signals with Self-Learning” at UNC Charlotte, where I had the opportunity to work with Dr. James M. Conrad, a renowned professor and 2020 IEEE-USA President. During my time at UNC Charlotte, I received two prestigious awards for my research and teaching.

I am passionate about tackling real-world problems and exploring the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. I have published several conference and journal papers and written two book chapters, soon to be published. I have also designed courses with lab experiments for students at EEE-MSRIT in Bangalore. Through this website, I hope to share my research insights and inspire others to explore the exciting and rapidly advancing field of AI and Robotics.
