Professor and Head
Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering
Jadavpur University
Kolkata, India.
I am currently working as a Professor and Head in the department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (E.T.C.E.) at Jadavpur University (J.U.), India. My office room (no. T-5A-2) is located on the 4th floor of Prayukti Bhavan in the main campus of J.U. My research interests are Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Biomedical Image/Signal Processing, and, Multimedia Analysis. In Jadavpur University, I formed the Imaging, Vision and Pattern Recognition (IVPR) group. I am a senior member of IEEE and an IAPR TC-member of Graph based Representations in Pattern Recognition (GbR). I currently serve Pattern Recognition Letters as an Area Editor and IEEE Signal Processing Letters and Springer Nature Computer Science as an Associate Editor.
Before joining Jadavpur University, I worked as a post-doctoral fellow in the department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at National Institutes of Health, USA for the period August 2007 to December 2008 under the aegis of Ronald Summers. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Georgia, USA in July 2007. My doctoral thesis adviser was Suchendra Bhandarkar. During my doctoral years, by co-authoring papers with Robert Robinson, I had earned an Erdӧs Number of 2 for myself. Earlier, I obtained a B.Sc (Hons.) in Physics from Presidency College in 1996, a B.Tech. in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics in 1999 and a M.E. from the department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (E.T.C.E.) at Jadavpur University with a specialization in Computer Engineering in 2001.
