About

I am a PhD student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at GeorgiaTech. I am working on the architecture for Intelligent Diagnosis and Prognosis of Manufacturing Systems using Artificial Intelligence technique Case-Based Reasoning. I joined Georgia Tech in 2001 at the school of Textile and Fiber Engineering, and earned Master of Science Degree in May 2003. I received bachelor’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in Textile and Fiber Engineering in 2001. As a part of students exchange program I also visited the University of British Columbia, Vancouver in 1999.

Research

My Research Interests lie in the application based control of Manufacturing Systems. I have been working on Intelligent Control Systems using several machine learning techniques. Overall emphasis is on diagnostics and prognostics of industrial systems. Area of my core research is Case-based Reasoning (CBR), an area from AI which makes use of the human memory models to solve problems that may or may not have been encountered before. More details about the problems and the approaches can be found here.
