I am an Assistant Professor in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Instruction in Department of Computer and Information Sciences at Temple University. I was also a postdoctoral scholar at Temple University under the supervision of Professor Krishna Kant . I have completed my PhD from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I had the pleasure to be advised by Professor Asis Nasipuri during the course of my PhD.

PhD Opening: I have PhD openings specifically in the following areas/projects:

1. Video analytics for smart survelliance systems (funded by SERB): Good knowledge on video analytics, deep learning, some embedded systems background is required.

2. Smart sensing/communication for IoT devices (funded by IIT Kanpur initiation grant): Good knowledge of embedded systems, working experiance with different microcontrollers, sensors are preferred.

3. Challenging areas in Computer Networks: Good knowledge of Computer Networks and Systems is required.

If you think yourself for any of these areas, please drop me an email with your CV.

I am also actively looking for self-motivated and hard-working masters, PhD students, and postdocs with diverse and inter-disciplinary backgrounds, especially those who are interested in Smart sensing and computing, Internet of Things (IoTs), Machine learning/Deep learning assisted sensing/communication/networking and/or Computer Networks. If you are willing to work with me, please drop me an email with your CV.

About me: I spent the first eighteen years of my life in a small quiet town named Midnapore in the southern part of the state of West Bengal in India. My family consists of my parents and my two elder brothers, both married. I have also spent four years at the "City of Joy" Kolkata where I have completed my undergraduate study at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Jadavpur University in 2008.
