TCG CREST

Education

I completed my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the National Institute of Technology Durgapur, West Bengal, India in April 2021. I received my M. Tech in 2010 from National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research – Kolkata, and B.Tech in 2006 from Govt. College of Engg. and Textile Technology, Berhampore, West Bengal, India.

Experiences

Prior to joining TCG CREST, I was a Visiting Scientist in Electronics and Communication Sciences Unit, ISI Kolkata from 04/02/2022- 31/03/2022. I was also a visiting researcher at the AIC research group, School of Electronic and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, UK, and I have worked together with Prof. Sarvapali Ramchurn. Earlier, I was an assistant professor at Bipin Chandra Tripathi Kumaon Engineering College, India from September 2011 – March 2015, an assistant professor at C.V. Raman College of Engineering, Odisha, India from February 2011 – September 2011, and a Lecturer at the Institute of Technology and Marine Engineering. Kolkata, India from April 2010 – February 2011.
