I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. I develop Aegis-Grid — an open-source agentic cryptographic framework designed to safeguard future power grids. My work addresses the "Inertia Crisis" by embedding autonomous AI agents and zero-trust policies directly into grid communication layers.
The Aegis Axiom: A protocol correct at the network layer but harmful to the physical grid is invalid by definition. Physics is the root of trust.

- Aegis-Grid: Flagship framework for adaptive (n,k) thresholding and Shannon entropy mirroring in grid-traffic.
- PowerMCP: Industrial bridge allowing AI agents to interface with PowerWorld and OpenDSS.
- Aegis-Consensus-Lab: Adversarial simulation for grid-resilient distributed consensus protocols.
📓 Engineering Field Notes
"The grid doesn't care about your threat model. It cares about frequency."
"Zero-Trust isn't paranoia. It's engineering honesty."
"A protocol that fails gracefully is worth ten that succeed beautifully."
