I am a Computer Engineering PhD candidate at Northeastern University, Boston and also a member of the NU Wireless Networking and Systems (NU WiNS) Lab. Currently I am advised by Dr. Dimitrios Koutsonikolas and my research interests lie in experimental wireless networking and mobile systems. My recent work revolves around studying the capabilities and constraints of 5G networks and their impact on high-bandwidth low-latency applications such as mobile augmented reality (AR), connected autonomous vehicles (CAV), etc. Since 2020, I have been actively collaborating with Prof. Y. Charlie Hu from Purdue University and Prof. Joerg Widmer from IMDEA Networks.
I am originally from Kolkata, India and I completed my B.Tech in Information Technology from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (formerly known as West Bengal University of Technology) in 2017. Apart from academia, I have a two year experience in working at Keysight Technologies as an R&D Engineer. My updated CV can be found here.
Outside work, I hold an avid interest in listening to and playing music. Some of my works can be found on Soundcloud.
*I will be on the academic job market for the 2025–2026 cycle. Feel free to reach out about relevant opportunities.*
