I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Technology at Delhi Technological University (DTU), Delhi. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), Delhi, where my research focused on Fog Computing and Internet of Things (IoT). I also hold an M.Tech. in Information Security and B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering. I am a GATE (2018) and UGC-NET (2017) qualified professional.

 Throughout my academic and research career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence. I have published several papers in reputed SCIE-indexed journals and have presented
my work at prominent IEEE and international conferences. My contributions include advancements in intelligent resource management in dynamic Fog-IoT environments using Deep Reinforcement Learning.

 Beyond research, I have been actively involved in academic leadership initiatives such as coordinating the Research and Development Cell and organizing faculty development programs. I am also an active member of the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT), contributing to efforts aimed at promoting universal technology accessibility. I specialize in teaching Theory of Computation, Reinforcement LEarning, Machine Learning, Compiler Design, and aim to integrate research-driven approaches into my teaching practices to inspire and nurture future technology leaders.

I have technical proficiency in Python, C++, Java, SQL, and various simulation and development tools like iFogSim, NetBeans, and Eclipse IDE.
