About Me:
I have recently joined Rakuten Mobile Inc. in Tokyo after completing my Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, India, and Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, in a joint program under the supervision of Dr. Antony Franklin A. and Dr. Jiong Jin. During my Ph.D., I worked on the optimization of video services, including 360-degree videos for the wireless networks using the Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). My research interests lie in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), Wireless Networks, Multimedia Services, and Machine Learning. Currently, I am working on HD-Map and Federated Learning (FL) applications in autonomous driving through C-V2X.
