About Me

I am a Master’s student at the University of Michigan, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), specializing in wireless communications, 5G/6G physical layer, AI-native RAN, and vehicular networks. I aspire to develop intelligent and reliable communication systems for smart cities and connected mobility.

Before Michigan, I completed my undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, majoring in Electrical Engineering, where I engaged in research on wireless systems and published at international conferences. I was awarded the Institute Gold Medal for Best All-Rounder for my work during my bachelor’s.

Research Experience

University of Michigan
Research Assistant, under Prof. Lei Ying
Built a streaming RL framework in Jelly Bean World to evaluate continuous decision-making, demonstrating improved stability and performance over multiple DQN variants. Implemented a contrastive RL approach that augments RRT-based planning, enabling robust trajectory generation for high-DOF robots.

6G Flagship | University of Oulu, Finland
Research Intern, under Prof. Nandana Rajatheva
Designed a Graph Attention Network (GAT) for downlink power allocation in multi-cell Massive MIMO systems under spatially correlated Rician fading, targeting maximization of sum-rate while mitigating intra-cell interference. Benchmarked the model against the WMMSE baseline across supervised, unsupervised, and hybrid training paradigms.

University of British Columbia (UBC)
Research Intern, under Prof. David Michelson – Summer 2023
Designed a channel sounder and Doppler shifter using ADALM-PLUTO SDRs to measure channel impulse response, path loss, and Doppler shifts for satellite and wireless communication. Executed LTE-based signal processing and real-time Doppler correction in MATLAB, achieving near 100% BER reduction through dynamic feedback-based distortion mitigation.

Other Interests

• ♟️ Chess: 2× U-14 SGFI National Champion, FIDE Rating 2046. You can follow me on Chess.com. I currently play for the UMich chess team.
• 🏞️ Trekking: Completed 5+ high-altitude treks in the Himalayas (3500m+).

Thank you for visiting my website! I’m open to discussions on wireless systems, PHY design, AI-RAN, RIS, or even chess and trekking adventures.
