Digital Twins For Urban Mitigation: Modelling City-Wide Carbon Neutrality Scenarios Via High-Performance Computing (HPC) Nilesh Patil, Balajee Maram International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, 2026 This paper presents a comprehensive framework for the context of integrating urban digital twins with the high-performance computing (HPC) to model, analyse, as well as accelerate pathways to city-wide carbon neutrality. Urban abstract simulations consist of digital twins of cities integrating heterogenous streams of data, physical models, and machine learning surrogates to simulate the behaviour and conditions of cities both spatially and temporally. HPC provides computational envelope capable of executing detailed building energy modelling, transport systems modelling, renewable generation modelling and coupled atmosphere-urban microclimate modelling both at city scale and at a temporal scale suitable to do sound policy analysis. The modular digital twin system comprises a system of interaction between building energy simulation and urban mobility models and distributed energy resource (DER) models and an urban carbon scoring engine. Its structure experiences HPC in order to compute a great number of scenarios in order to measure uncertainty and apply multi-objective analysis with the aim of minimizing emissions, costs and resilience. To explain the approach, a case study of synthetic city is conducted, and sensitivity experiments of electrification, deep retrofit, distributed photovoltaics, storage, and demand response portfolios is carried. Results quantify trade-offs between decarbonization rate, cost of energy, and stressors resilience and show that HPC-based digital twin’s communities can be used to discover near-Paretooptimal trade-offs in the presence of epistemic and aleatory uncertainty. The last point is on the implementation problems, data handlings and research plans to operationalize the city digital twins as a decision support system to simplify into carbon neutral city.
Code Vulnerability Detection Using Instruction-Tuned LLMs Devesh Bhayani, Arham Shah, Dev Pandey, Bhavya Mehta, Nilesh Patil Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Visual Analytics and Data Visualization Icvadv 2026, 2026 The biggest risk to modern systems and software is created by software vulnerabilities. We have many techniques to check code; however, it is seen that with the advancement in software, this has also led to newer kinds of possible bugs emerging. The current techniques to check these vulnerabilities aren't enough. The recent advancement in Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened possibilities to detect these kinds of vulnerabilities. However, LLMs are tuned on a wide range of data; therefore, they generally lack the task-specific alignment needed to accurately recognize and reason about security flaws. In this research, we present a framework based on instruction tuning that adapts pre-trained code LLMs for vulnerability detection by using datasets which are curated for these use cases and structured prompt templates designed to encode vulnerability semantics and context. The proposed approach not only instructs the LLM to detect vulnerabilities but also asks it to reason, which improves trust in the detection process.

Eco-Optimized Routing for Urban Mobility Anay Shah, Javal Shah, Forum Sanjanwala, Anaya Jain, Nilesh Patil, Sridhar Iyer 2025 International Conference on Information Implementation and Innovation in Technology I2itcon 2025, 2025 One of the main contributors to environmental degradation and air pollution is urban transportation. This paper introduces a new system for improving land transport routes by including sustainability as a vital factor along with travel time. The approach here leverages the predicted Air Quality Index (AQI) data, mainly focused on PM 2.5, to assess and suggest sustainable routes. To predict AQI variations across key locations in Mumbai, four machine learning models: autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), long short-term memory (LSTM), linear regression and prophet are developed, and the most accurate and reliable one is found to be the ARIMA model. Furthermore, the system takes into account the forecasted AQI, traffic congestion and distance to calculate a pollution score in order to determine greener alternatives. A blockchain based reward system is used to reward users with cryptocurrency if an eco-friendly route is chosen, to encourage sustainable behaviour. The research shows the prediction models combined with a decentralized rewards mechanism promotes sustainable transportation and has a significant impact on reducing pollution caused by travel.

A Comparative Study of Classification Models for Cyberbullying Detection Mritunjay Kumar Ojha, Nilesh M Patil, Manuj Joshi 7th International Conference on Inventive Computation Technologies Icict 2024, 2024 The most critical challenge in cybersecurity is dealing with cyber-attacks. Since it is imperative to act quickly to lessen the harm caused by cyberbullying. The complicated dynamics of social media, which are marked by their complexity, variety, subjectivity, and multimodal nature, provide obstacles to the identification of cyberbullying. The complexity, diversity, subjective nature, and multimodal aspects of social media have significantly increased. This has led to the need for automated mechanisms that can identify these harmful behaviors. This study aims to assess how well various categorization methods detect cyber bullying. For training and testing, this study uses a cybersecurity-related data. The models that have been selected include the Linear SVC, Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and Stochastic Gradient classifiers. We use hyperparameter tuning to improve the model's performance, and then we show the results based on important metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. The results demonstrate the superiority of the stochastic gradient classifier, which has an F1 score of 94.39%, recall of 91.94%, accuracy of 92.81%, and precision of 96.97%. The investigation examines the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, offering insightful information for the cybersecurity field. In addition, suggestions for more studies are made to strengthen the resilience of cyber defenses. This work advances the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures by finding the best models for detecting threats and offering directions for improvement as cyber threats change. Other techniques that can be used are the three distinct feature extraction techniques—Bag of Words (BoW), Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and Word2Vec—are merged with the algorithms of Logistic Regression (LR), Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) to build the model (Johari & Jaafar, 2022). Our objectives are to analyze the effectiveness of several classification techniques for identifying cyberbullying, such as Random Forest, Decision Tree, Linear SVC, Logistic Regression, and Stochastic Gradient classifiers, to improve the performance of the model by using hyperparameter tweaking methods and analyze the outcomes using the F1 score, accuracy, precision, recall, and other critical performance
