About Vivek Deulkar

Dr. Vivek Deulkar is an Assistant Professor at Plaksha University. Before joining Plaksha, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions for sustainable energy systems, renewable integration, along with battery storage, electricity markets, and energy arbitrage. 

He did his PhD in Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. His PhD research was in the space of smart grid, managing uncertainties in renewable generation using battery storage, drawing on tools from stochastic modeling, applied probability, sequential decision-making, optimization, control, and reinforcement learning. 

Dr. Deulkar has an MTech in Control and Computing from Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay, and a BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) Nagpur.  

He also has experience working with the Engineering Research Centre, Tata Motors Ltd., Pune, where he worked in the Auto-Electric Embedded Systems design group towards software development of embedded controllers used for various automotive applications.
