Manufacturing 4.0: AI-Driven Analytics for Predictive Maintenance

Published in International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR), 2024

Predictive maintenance as an analytics problem: sensor and telemetry pipelines, failure-mode modelling, and the shift from scheduled servicing to condition-based intervention in Manufacturing 4.0 environments.

Agentic AI in Data Analytics: Transforming Autonomous Insights and Decision-Making

Published in International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology (IJSRCSEIT), 2024

A framework for agentic AI in enterprise analytics: autonomous agents that plan, query, and act against governed data platforms rather than returning static reports β€” covering architecture, orchestration, and the guardrails autonomy requires.

AI in Healthcare Analytics: Transforming Patient Care and Operational Efficiency

Published in International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), 2024

Applied AI across the healthcare analytics stack β€” predictive risk stratification, clinical decision support, and operational forecasting β€” with attention to the data quality, interoperability, and regulatory constraints specific to the domain.

AI-Driven Personalization in Retail Analytics: Transforming Customer Experiences

Published in International Journal of Research in Computer Applications and Information Technology (IJRCAIT), 2024

How machine learning and real-time behavioural data reshape retail personalization β€” from recommendation and dynamic pricing to inventory alignment β€” and what the underlying analytics architecture has to support.

Simulation-Based Selectee Lane Queueing Design for Passenger Checkpoint Screening

Published in European Journal of Operational Research, 2012

A simulation-based queueing framework that assigns passengers from different risk classes to the often-underutilized selectee lane in real time, raising the probability of correctly identifying high-risk passengers by more than 4% over then-current practice with minimal added processing time.

Preprints & Technical Reports


STRAP: A Structured Task and Recovery Agent Protocol for Reliable AI Agent Harnesses

Published in Technical report, with open-source skills, paper, and reproducible experiments on GitHub, 2026

A 25-page protocol and four plain-text, model-agnostic skills β€” task-contract, state-compiler, adversarial-verifier, failure-router β€” for the four failure modes that make coding agents unreliable: no bounded spec, lost decisions, unverified completion claims, and blind retry loops. Every empirical claim, including the ones that came out lower than expected, is reported as measured: a failure-classifier accuracy that drops from 88.0% on a self-authored corpus to 45.0% on an independent one, and a live-agent pilot that surfaced a real, previously-unknown bug in the enforcement hook it was testing.

Earned Consensus: A Null Result on Roster Voting and What Survived It

Published in Technical report, with open-source skill, paper, and evidence on GitHub, 2026

Formerly Absolute Self-Governance β€” a multi-agent orchestrator whose own pre-registered analysis found no significant benefit from its roster-voting mechanism (+3.9 points, 95% CI [βˆ’2.7, +10.6], p = 0.247). Renamed and reduced to what the evidence supported: Escalation-Gated Retry, a single coding-assistant skill with no server or API key, plus the full telemetry the paper recomputes from.
