Summary
P Karthik is an Assistant Professor in the Department of AI at IIT Hyderabad, with nine years of research and teaching experience focused on information theory, sequential analysis, hypothesis testing, Markov decision processes, anomaly detection, and stochastic adaptive control. He earned a PhD and MS in Information Theory and Statistical Learning from IISc, after completing a BE in Electronics and Communications with top honors, with early research assistant roles at IISc. He has cultivated international partnerships as a Research Fellow at the NUS Institute of Data Science, collaborating with IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, RPI, and the Technion, and served as a Visiting Researcher at Technion. His industry internship at Netradyne involved handling large datasets (about 150 GB/month), developing geospatial visualizations, and delivering metrics for travel times and driver stress, with BPL reducing the worst 10% of travel times by 4-28%. His research uniquely blends theory and practice, aiming to translate information-theoretic insights into data-driven decision-making in real-world systems. Based in Telangana, India, he brings a strong mix of rigorous academic training and collaborative leadership across institutions.
