I am an Assistant Professor at Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, NIT Durgapur, India. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at the Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, India, and a postdoctoral fellow at the "Combinatorics Group" of Ústav informatiky AV ČR, The Czech Academy of Science, advised by Dr. Maria Saumell. I am fortunate to have Prof. Subhas C. Nandy as my PhD supervisor at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India.
