Key accomplishments
I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia, USA. IÂ am defending my thesis this Feb 2024 and actively looking for open positions that can make use of my skills in algorithm design, machine learning, optimization, programming and telecom networks.
I proposed application of a custom metaheuristic algorithm called Jaya algorithm to deep neural networks training that improved accuracy over the conventional Adam optimizer when dealing with billion sample datasets. I have proposed algorithm solutions to NP-Hard resource allocation problems and the works have been published in reputed journals and conferences. Prior to my Ph.D., I have proposed variations to optimization algorithms and also applied them for system performance optimization under different constraints. I have also proposed novel scheduler system using multi-attribute decision making methods to deal with problems having multiple alternatives under conflicting attributes. My method could improve the network admissions by 28% while almost increasing the network utilization by 100% over the traditional approach.
With all of these, I have a research mind as is evident from my degree and publications that naturally makes me curious about thing and dig deeper until a solution is found while making me learn new things. One of my strengths is to work with cross-domain ideas to solve problems which I believe helps me to connect with diverse technical people to lead to a final solution/product.
