Research &
Interests

The most interesting problems live at the intersection of multiple fields — AI, physics, security, and mathematics.

01

AI / ML Research

→

Building simulation pipelines, Random Forest classifiers, and data analysis tools from scratch. Experienced with adsorption isotherms, Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation, EIS modelling, and feature engineering on real-world scientific datasets.

02

Cybersecurity

→

Active CTF competitor across cryptography, reverse engineering, and binary exploitation. Top 150 on CryptoHack India. Comfortable with RSA attacks (Wiener, Franklin-Reiter, broadcast), pwntools, GDB, and systems-level challenges on pwn.college.

03

Competitive Programming

→

Preparing for IOI and IOAI. Strong command of graphs (BFS, Dijkstra, A*, Bellman-Ford), dynamic programming, segment trees, binary search, and combinatorics. Applies DSA directly in research — including 302K-node graph traversal in C++17.

04

Physics & Simulation

→

Built OmniSprint, a C++ physics engine normalising Olympic sprint times for wind, altitude, surface, and biomechanics via RK4 integration. Interested in computational modelling, physical paradoxes, and applying mathematical rigour to real-world phenomena.

A* vs Dijkstra on Lucknow

Research

Benchmarked two shortest-path algorithms on a 302,066-node road graph. A* achieved a 78.13% mean search-space reduction (p < 0.0001) using a Haversine heuristic. Identified the Riverine Bottleneck Paradox and Cantonment Regularity Effect as topological drivers.
