AI Research Engineer working across reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, and memory-augmented AI — first author on an IEEE Best Paper, contributing author on a Springer book chapter.

Comfortable running the full pipeline: baselines, ablations, multi-seed statistical validation, and writing down the negative results too — not just the ones that make the paper look good.

// also: FastAPI + React builds, computer vision, and the occasional deadline-week LaTeX crisis.

ABOUT ME

hi, I'm Sree —

I graduated from SRM Institute of Science and Technology in May 2026 with a B.Tech in Electronics and Computer Engineering, closing out with a 10.0 SGPA final semester. My research lives at the intersection of reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, and memory-augmented AI.

systems that remember, and coordinate, and don't fall apart when you check the math.

I'd rather ship a rigorous negative result than an inflated positive one. That's cost me easier papers, and I think it's made the real ones better.

MAMFAC: Memory-Augmented Mean-Field Actor-Critic for Multi-Agent Coordination
Sreedharshan G J, Dr. V. Ceronmani Sharmila · submission #325, OpenReview
Introduces a mean memory field that lets large populations of agents coordinate without pairwise communication. Against MFAC and MFQ baselines, memory-augmentation shows statistically significant gains (Cohen's d up to 4.9, p < 0.01, paired t-tests across 5–10 seeds), with the clearest population-size effect at N = 2 (+26.2%, d = 3.38) shrinking to non-significant by N = 8–16, and overhead scaling sub-linearly at O(N0.33) up to N = 200. A conjectured O(1/√N) mean-field error bound is empirically consistent with the data (R² = 0.997). Currently under review; the open question is whether the memory field should be learned end-to-end or kept structured.
Key contribution — mean memory field construction + empirically confirmed O(1/√N) error bound

AI-Based Event-Triggered Decentralized Swarm Coordination for Multi-Vehicle Collision Avoidance
Sreedharshan G J, Surya Narayanan S, Akankshya Sethi, Aravindan M · IEEE RAEEUCCI 2026 · DOI: 10.1109/RAEEUCCI67649.2026.11504821
A novel event-triggered mechanism for decentralized multi-agent PSO-DMPC coordination that fires updates only when a local trigger condition is met. Cut inter-agent communication overhead by 92.5% and computational cost by 84%, with zero collisions across 10,000+ simulation timesteps in SUMO — improving the MTTC safety metric by 90.5% and reducing speed variance by 81.9% over baseline methods, validated across multiple traffic densities and parameter-sensitivity scenarios.
Key contribution — event-triggered PSO-DMPC design cutting comms overhead 92.5% at zero collisions

Deepfake Detection with YOLOv7: Implementation and Evaluation on Benchmark Datasets
Svaraan Kumar Thammu, Tharun A, Sreedharshan G J, Ceronmani Sharmila V · Springer Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering — book chapter, in press
A YOLOv7 + ResNet-50 + Vision Transformer pipeline with spatio-temporal attention modules, benchmarked on FaceForensics++ and FakeAVCeleb. Reached 92% accuracy and 0.958 AUC while sustaining 25 FPS real-time inference, evaluating generalization across multiple forgery datasets rather than optimizing for accuracy alone.
Key contribution — real-time (25 FPS) detection at 0.958 AUC across forgery datasets

MAY — JUN 2026
MUN & MAMF-RL, FROM SCRATCH
Formalized utility-based memory management, scaffolded both research codebases, and ran the first ablations comparing memory-augmented policies against no-memory baselines.
JUN 2026
DIAGNOSING THE NULL RESULT
Found and fixed compounding bugs in the MAMFAC pipeline, then confirmed memory showed no measurable effect in fully observable environments — the finding that motivated the partial-observability redesign.
JUL 2026
MAMFAC SUBMITTED TO ACML 2026
Full paper submitted via OpenReview (#325) after a six-figure integration pass, a trim from 19 to 16 pages, and an updated bibliography. Currently under review.
