01 / About Me

Who I Am

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Hatter Department of Marine Technologies, Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel.

My current work explores the intersection of inertial navigation, computational mathematics, and machine learning for dynamical systems. I work under the guidance of Prof. Itzik Klein.

I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Mathematics, National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India, under the supervision of Prof. Snehashish Chakraverty. My doctoral thesis was titled "Advanced machine learning frameworks for real-world dynamical problems."
