Cyber Physical System is one of the upcoming interdisciplinary research fields which will lead to the industry 4.0. But there are several hindrances and technological gap are left off in the literature to realize it. Some of the significant research advances made by him and its impact are as follows:

Recently, he gave a demonstration on “Growing hydroponics under the supervision of artificial intelligence” at Sri Vidyaneeketan College of Engg, Andhra Pradesh. This work will enable the farmers to grow plants without soil and with minimal effort to be put for the crops growth under adverse condition.

He has received the accolades from top companies like Cisco, Cognizant, TCS, Infosys and CitiBank for his work on Internet of Things to solve the problem of concurrent computation and communication – “IoT based Vision Intelligence for Reality Mining”.

Other than that his research work on computationally identifying the cause of the multiple diseases acting on the patient has been honored by Madhya Pradesh council of Science & Technology. This will solve the problem of differential diagnosis through the help of an autonomous system.

Other research activities on realization of first ever comprehensive model of Cyber Physical system and autonomous surveillance has been a major breakthrough in the field and has been appreciated by the top multinational companies like Unisys and other government institute like DST by availing the funds for the research.
