I am a PhD candidate under the advisorship of Professor Tamer Başar at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. I did my Master’s from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign under the advisership of Professor Naira Hovakimyan in 2015.
My research focuses on Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) using the paradigm of Mean-Field Games (MFGs). I am primarily interested in learning macro-scale phenomena that emerges from micro-scale inter-agent strategic interactions in real-world scenarios, such as, consensus formation over networks, peer-to-peer power markets, adversarial influence on opinion dynamics etc. I am quite excited about Mean-Field Games as a viable method to understand and analyze these interactions.

Skills
Experience
Responsibilities include:
- Reinforcement Learning for LQ Mean-Field Games (MFGs)
- Reinforcement Learning for LQ MFGs in multiple populations
- Oracle-free Reinforcement Learning for MFGs
- Reinforcement Learning for Measn-Field Type Games (MFTGs)
Responsibilities include:
- I designed, implemented and tested fault diagnosis, failure prediction modeling and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation for the battery systems of electric vehicles. A combination of model based and data driven techniques were used to obtain the modules using real world data.
Responsibilities include:
- As a lecturer I taught Solid Modeling, Numerical Methods, Electro-Mechanical Systems and Control Systems Design.
Responsibilities include:
- During the research assistantship I worked on sensor fusion algorithms, adaptive control and autopilot-base station communication using MavLink messages.
Responsibilities include:
- I was involved with developing the mathematicalmodel of the propeller-motor assembly of the DJI F550. Also worked on emulating the F550 in the X-Plane environment and mass properties calculator.
Responsibilities include:
- I worked on design and fabrication of Electro-mechanical Actuator Amplifiers and their testing jigs.
