About
Hello, welcome to my home page. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati. I joined IIITG in June 2019. I received the B.Tech. degree in computer science and engineering from the West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata, India; the M.Tech. degree in computer science and engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, India; and the Ph.D. degree in engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India, in 2010, 2012, and 2019, respectively. I was a Visiting Researcher and a Visiting Scientist at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. You can find my profiles in the following links: Google Scholar, DBLP, ORCID (0000-0002-9368-758X), Scopus (5369674100), and ResearchGate.
