'Knowledge itself is power' -Francis Bacon

 

I am currently serving as an Associate Professor at Amity University, Kolkata. Prior to this, I hold the position of Manager – Product Development at Ashok Leyland and worked as a Post Doctoral Researcher in I3D lab at Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore.  I completed my PhD in  September, 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Pradipta Biswas (IISc Bangalore). I work on Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Virtual Reality, and Human Computer Interaction. I did my masters and bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering at West Bengal University of Technology, India. 

My research work is focused on object detection in challenging environment. Initially, I started looking for object detection in cluttered background using classical computer vision techniques. Later I took multiple case studies where my aim was to detect lane and on road objects in context of Indian road. I also proposed a new way of generating dataset which is essential and major part of deep learning based research. I worked with Robert Bosch, Wipro, Faurecia, British Telecom in my research tenure. I achieved one best paper award (47th WWRF meeting, Bristol, 2022), ACM global fellowship to present my work in AutomotiveUI 2019 Doctoral Colloquium in the Netherlands, student travel grant in WWRF 48 in Abu Dhabi, co-authored in one distinguished paper award in ICoRD, 2021. The thesis received special recognition from the external examiner, Prof. Sumantra Dutta Roy of IIT Delhi, during the dissertation. 

Before joining as a research student, I worked as assistant professor for 6 years in multiple Institutions in West Bengal, India. I also did internship in PulseLabs AI for a period of 3 months in 2022. 

I am passionate about analyzing and writing political incidents. However these are unpublished writing stored in my personal diaries. I also write poems and short stories like many other Bengali people. Recently I started showing interests on making daily life blogging (https://t.ly/X61CW).
