M.Tech. from USICT, New Delhi, India

Research Areas: Blockchain, IoT, Edge AI, Multimodal ML

I am currently an Assistant Professor (Selection Grade) and Research Faculty at UPES Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Previously, I worked as an Assistant Professor at Pranveer Singh Institute of Technology (PSIT), Kanpur, and as a Programming Language Trainer at Tejas Engineers Academy, New Delhi, where I trained students in core computer science subjects.

I completed my Ph.D. from BITS Pilani. My research focuses on blockchain-based solutions for intelligent transportation systems, integrating Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Edge AI, Federated Learning, and Multimodal Machine Learning.

I have published research articles in IEEE Internet of Things Journal, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, IEEE Access, Wiley, and Elsevier, and presented work at international venues including IEEE GLOBECOM.

I consider myself a researcher focused on solving real-world problems using advanced technologies. I am particularly interested in developing secure, scalable, and intelligent systems, especially in domains such as transportation and smart environments.

As part of my research, I am primarily interested in Blockchain, IoT, Edge AI, Federated Learning, and Multimodal Machine Learning. I also work on topics related to intelligent systems, distributed computing, and emerging technologies.
