I have a keen research interest in the area of applied mathematical modelling and simulation. In particular, I have been focusing on transportation and disaster management problems. Here is the list of my research Interest: 

• Humanitarian Logistics 
• Urban Transportation modelling
• Uncertain optimization problems
• Decision Support system

PhD: Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2018)
M.Tech: Industrial Engineering, IIT Delhi  (2014-Converted to PhD)
B.Tech: Industrial Engineering and Management, National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra (2012)

Research Scientist, Robert Bosch (South East Asia) Pte Ltd, Singapore (2018-2020):
Worked on developing city-wide traffic simulation models to implement control strategies for reducing traffic congestion in cities. The aim is to find solutions to enable new mobility models based on shared assets and traffic flow optimization. The work involved analyzing large datasets and feed processed data into the simulation for better decision-making.
