Brief Bio

I am a PHD scholar at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Insttute of Technology, Kharagpur. I am persuing my research under the supervision of Dr. Sandip Chakroborty and Dr. Bivas Mitra. Prior to this, I have completed my masters from IIT, Kharagpur. Currently, I am a member of Complex Networks Research Group, IIT, Kharagpur. Continuing with my research in the broad area of research as Ubiquitous Computing and Persvasive Sensing for Safe Driving, i have been awarded the Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF), 2021. I also have a strong interest for travelling & exploring things.
