Basic Info About Me

symp

I am a Software Engineer in test for MATLAB Math, Data Analysis and Mathematical Modeling at Mathworks, Natick, MA. I completed my Master's Degree in Data Analytics Engineering (MS) at Northeastern University, Boston, MA, USA in August 2022. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology Engineering (B.Tech) from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati, India in 2020.
My primary field of research is Reinforcement Learning (RL). I have worked on theoretical RL and it's optimisation for one-shot learning. I worked as a research assistant under Prof. K Yamauchi at Chubu University in Japan. I worked there in a series of two internships, once in the summer of 2018 and again in the summer of 2019. The work I did was published as a research paper in the international conference ICPRAM 2019 held in Prague, Czech Republic.
During my Master's, I worked under Prof. Dehghani in the field of applied RL for Industrial Simulations and Operations Research (OR) problems. I used multiple tools/Languages such as Simio, Python and C#. To build multiple industy level simulation models, I used Simio. I also built RL models in Python and then linked the two using C# based APIs.
I am well versed with multiple programming languages, including but not limited to Python, R, MATLAB, Java, C and C#. I also have extensive experience in tools such as Tableau, Git, Make, CMake, Latex and Simio.
In my free time I enjoy snowboarding in the winters. I also like kitesurfing, hiking, camping and fishing during the warmer months.

    I work in Quality Engineering supporting the core math and data analysis teams by prototyping functions, designing and writing tests, and fixing any bugs found in these areas.

  • 2021-2022

    Research Assistant

    @Northeastern University

    Worked on using Reinforcement Learning (RL) to solve optimisation problems in industry. Operations Rsearch (OR) problems such as Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and Job Scheduling were the major problem statements. We also worked on Data Mining Problems and showcasing RL as a universal problem solver.
