Having delved deeper into Numerical Analysis and Data Driven Science, Mr Regis X has developed a strong temperamental proclivity towards Sparse Regression of Galerkin’s Weighted Residual Method. He believes a professor doesn’t have to conform to some prepackaged version of teaching but rather, he/she should aspire to get across the concepts in an innovative manner and with exceptional grace. Driven by Ignatian Pedagogy, he wants students to have galactic explosiveness not only intellectually but also in their heart. He has presented his work in national and international conferences and published papers in reputed indexed journals. He has further Led a paid industrial project for Commonpath LLC, USA. Mentored the students in defending a patent for Ozeri.
