Arka Roy

Hello/नमस्ते/নমস্কার,

I am Arka Roy (অর্ক রায়). Currently, I am working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Neurology, Clinical Data Animation Center (CDAC), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), at Harvard Medical School. I completed my Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Patna in February 2025, where I received the prestigious Prime Minister's Research Fellowship (provided by the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India). Prior to that, I completed B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering in July 2021 from R.K. Mahato Government Engineering College, Purulia, West Bengal.

My research interests include Biomedical Signal Processing and Machine learning.
