I'm presently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computational and Data Sciences, in the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Kolkata. Previously I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, in the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad (September 2022- July 2024). I was also affiliated to the Machine Intelligence Unit (MIU) of Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata, as a DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellow from June, 2020 to September, 2022. I did my postdoctoral research in the School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCSE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where I worked in the Computational Intelligence Lab for around one and half years.
I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India, in 2018, and received the M.E. (Master of Engineering) degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST) Shibpur, India, in 2013. I did my B.Tech. on Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from the West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT) in 2011.
My current research interest includes autonomous learning, computational intelligence, probabilistic reasoning, data-driven modeling for spatio-temporal prediction and change pattern analysis.
I was born in Sahachak, a small village on the bank of the river Damodar in the district of Hooghly, West Bengal, India. Apart from the academic interests in the various fields of computer science, I have great fascination in Music, Fine Arts, Origami, Gardening, and Archery.
