My journey began with a deep fascination for physics, chemistry, and biology, a desire to understand the fundamental rules of nature and to solve meaningful problems across domains such as healthcare/medicine, neuroscience & cognitive science, engineering, entertainment, agriculture, social computing, economics & finance… .

English, mathematics, and computer science (CS) soon became the languages through which I explored this curiosity. I approach problem-solving in three steps:

Input Space

• Mathematics: represent any kind of data as numbers (-infinity … 0 … +infinity)
• Computer Science: store it in data structures like list, dictionary, set, tuple… or finally in bits (e.g., 100101)

Processing

• Mathematics: apply functions (+, -, *, /, etc.)
• Computer Science: apply algorithms to the input space

Output Space

• Mathematics: represent any kind of data as numbers (-infinity… 0 … +infinity)
• Computer Science: store it in data structures like list, dictionary, set, tuple… or finally in bits (e.g., 100101)

Today, I use Mathematics (sets, linear algebra, calculus, probability & statistics) and Computer Science (algorithms, machine learning, system design) to explore nature’s principles and develop intelligent systems that solve real-world problems. My ultimate vision is to create robots capable of investigating the fundamental laws of nature and addressing the challenges faced by living beings.

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Mississippi State University (MSU), where my research spans Machine Learning and Wireless Communication. Previously, I served as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) under the supervision of Prof. Quan Yuan while completing my Master’s in Computer Science. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Tribhuvan University, where I worked under the guidance of Prof. Sanjeev Prasad Panday. I have also had the privilege of collaborating with Mahabir Pun and Rabin Dhakal.
