Short CV
I received my Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from National Institute of Technology Hamirpur, India in 2013 and completed my Master’s degree in electrical engineering with specialization in systems and control from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India in 2016. I obtained my doctorate from Systems and Control Engineering department at IIT Bombay, Indian in 2022. My thesis was on frequency-domain approach for multi-agent consensus. From February 2023 to July 2025, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the Discrete Technology and Production Automation (DTPA) group at University of Groningen, Netherlands. Currently, I am a post-doc in the Optimization based Control Group at TU Ilmenau.
