Brief Bio 

I am a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Before joining IIT (ISM ) Dhanbad, I was an ANRF National Postdoctoral Researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), affiliated with CyStar – the Centre for Cybersecurity, Trust, and Reliability. I work with Prof. John Augustine in the DisTrA (Distributed Trust and Algorithm) Lab. In 2023, I completed my PhD in Message-Efficient Fault-Tolerant Distributed Computations at the Cryptology and Security Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata, under the supervision of Dr. Anisur Rahaman Molla.

Research Interest

My research interests are in designing and analyzing distributed computing and distributed network algorithms. I am especially interested in studying agent-based models and message-passing models in distributed networks. In the agent-based model, my contributions address problems such as dispersion, leader election, and other graph-related problems, analyzing their round and memory complexity. Meanwhile, in the message-passing model, my research tackles fundamental problems such as leader election, agreement, and distributed computing on external data, evaluating both message and round complexity in fault-tolerant networks.
