Biography

I received the Ph.D. degree from Univ. Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France, in 2022 and the M.Tech. degree in mathematics and computing from Indian Institute of Technology Patna, India, in 2017. I worked as a research/teaching assistant at IIT Patna from 2017 to 2018. During my Ph.D., I was with GIPSA-Lab, Grenoble, France, and from 2023 to March 2025, I was a researcher at the Control Systems Group ("Fachgebiet Regelsysteme") at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Technische Universität (TU) Berlin. Currently, I am a researcher in the Automation and Sensorics in Networked Systems group at the University of Kassel.

My research interests include estimation and control in network control systems, robust optimal control and model predictive control with a focus on microgrids and human mobility.
