I'm a BS-MS Mathematics student at IISER Tirupati (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, an autonomous research institute of the Govt. of India), working at the intersection of mathematical modeling, optimization theory, and computational methods applied to real-world systems.

I hold research positions across three institutes — a Gaussian process regression fellowship at IIT Palakkad, a research collaboration with Dr. Sven Karbach at the University of Amsterdam on Wasserstein-space forecasting, and a diffusion-geometry proposal at IIIT Kottayam — and I have two published papers: arbitrage-free GP interpolation of implied volatility surfaces, and a policy and ML framework for civic energy disaggregation.

Through my research identity AXL — Axiom Labs, I also build applied systems — from NILM-based energy disaggregation to proof-theoretic waste traceability — and compete in national hackathons at IITs and IISERs, placing in the top ranks against thousands of participants.

Gaussian Process Regression for Distribution-Valued Inputs

Replicates Bachoc et al. (2018) on GP regression with probability distributions as inputs, then extends it to Wasserstein Tangent Gaussian Processes.

Renewable Capture-Price Forecasting with Wasserstein GPs

Treats the joint price–production forecast as a probability measure so that the cannibalisation effect in renewable markets enters the GP.

Arbitrage-Free Gaussian Process Interpolation for Implied Volatility Surfaces

Milind Sahu, Darun, Latheesh Roy

A GP-based interpolation scheme for implied volatility surfaces that embeds no-arbitrage constraints directly in the covariance structure, avoiding post-hoc smoothing or projection.

From Opt-In to Infrastructure: Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring, Sustained Household Energy Conservation, and the Civic Energy Disaggregation Mandate

Milind Sahu, Darun A. · Axiom Lab · CC BY-NC 4.0

Introduces the Civic Energy Disaggregation Mandate (CEDM), arguing for NILM as public utility infrastructure rather than opt-in consumer technology, with a five-model ML pipeline benchmarking disaggregation accuracy and deployment feasibility.
