About
Hello, my name is Nilotpal, and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Guwahati. Before that, I served at IIIT Kottayam and LNMIIT Jaipur in the same position. I completed my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna in 2019, after which I moved to Aalborg University, Denmark, for a postdoc. I was also with EMAX Group, Belgium, where I worked as an IT solution and Innovation Expert. I completed my M.Tech in Systems Management from Devi Ahilya University, Indore, in 2014, and B.Tech in Information Technology in 2010 from Assam University, Silchar.
Apart from the technical degrees, I also hold a Master of Business Laws (MBL) degree from the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru.
