Hi! I'm Nilotpal Chakraborty

I am a teacher and a researcher in Computer Science and Engineering, currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Guwahati, Assam, India. Previously, I have served IIIT Kottayam, Kerala and LNMIIT Jaipur in the same position. 

I also have a keen interest in startups and currently associated with EVXplorer, a TIH-IIT Patna incubated startup that works in the field of Electric Vehicles.  

I earned my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering with the thesis titled 'Intelligent Scheduling Algorithms for Energy Optimizaion in Smart Grid', from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna in 2019, and moved to Aalborg University, Denmark for Postdoc. I had also worked at EMAX Group, Brussels, Belgium, a Greentech startup as an  IT Solution and Innovation Expert. 

I completed my Masters degree in Systems Management from Devi Ahilya University, Indore in 2014 and Bachelors degree in Information Technology from Assam University, Silchar in 2010. The final year of my M.Tech was spent at CSIR- Fourth Paradigm Institute (earlier CMMACS), Bangalore, where I did my thesis on 'Fully Homomorphic Encryption for secured High Performance Computing'.

Current research interests include Scheduling and Optimization in Smart Grid and Electric Vehicles, Cyber Physical Systems. 

Teaching interests include Theory of Computation, Compiler Design, Operating Systems, Graph Theory, Optimization Techniques.

I am always keen on discussing various problems in the domains of Computational Complexity theory, Game Theory, and Optimization.
