My dissertation exemplifies my dedication, where I integrate Explainable AI and Federated Learning methodologies to enhance the prediction of DDoS attacks in SDN environments. My foundational education in Computer Engineering from Gujarat Technological University has equipped me with a solid framework to navigate the complexities of AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity. This interdisciplinary approach has significantly informed my research interests, encompassing cybersecurity, explainable AI, federated learning, and the pressing challenges associated with smart health and energy systems. I have made meaningful contributions to various research initiatives, including the development of an AI-assisted diagnostic system and efforts to strengthen the resilience of machine learning models against adversarial threats. These projects reflect my commitment to leveraging technology for societal benefit. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have served as a GitHub Campus Expert and an Assistant Community Developer at Google, empowering others to effectively harness technology in both personal and professional contexts. My academic efforts have been recognised through notable awards, such as the Pandit Dindayal Energy University fellowship and the INCOME TAX OF INDIA Demonetization Quiz Award, which inspire my ongoing pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
