ABOUT ME

Research with purpose. Learning without limits.

I’m Dr. Dilip Kumar, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at NIT Jamshedpur.

My work brings optimization and machine learning together to build useful, efficient intelligent systems. DKLab is my personal space for this research, the students who help shape it, and the ideas we explore through teaching and collaboration.
