About
Hello, and welcome to my home page. I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati. I joined IIITG in February 2021. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Data Science & Analytics at the Central University of Rajasthan from October 2019 until February 3, 2021. I completed my Ph.D. at Tezpur University in August 2019 and earned my M.Tech in Information Technology from Tezpur University in 2013, where I was awarded the Institute Gold Medal for Academic Excellence. During my Ph.D. studies, I was a visiting scholar at the University of Essex in the UK.
Research Interests
My broad research interests encompass artificial intelligence, machine learning, signal processing, and knowledge representation and reasoning. Currently, I am focusing on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the field of Brain-Computer Interfacing.
