Interested in working with us? We are looking for full-time M.S. or PhD candidates in the general area ML-driven sensing systems for mobile computing applications. Explore more about our recent works and openings here - SeNSE.


I am broadly interested in system-level design of future intelligent wireless systems and sensing technologies, spanning both algorithm design as well as system prototyping. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook (advisor: Samir R. Das). Further, I worked as a researcher at the Mobile Communications and Networking Division at NEC Labs America, Princeton, NJ for three years. Earlier, I received a B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from Jadavpur University. I completed my schooling from South Point (High) School. I was born and brought up in the beautiful city of Kolkata (Tollygunj).


Teaching

CS2300: Foundations of Computer Systems Design (UG Core, Diwali'23, Diwali'22). The class also includes a laboratory component.

Additionally, I offer (a slightly simplified version) of this course through the BS Data Science Program as an elective for the Computer Systems bucket. The recordings are publicly available and are linked in the CS2300 webpage.

CS3205: Introduction to Computer Networks (UG Elective, Holi'25, Holi'24, Holi'22). *Currently teaching*

I will be offering a version of this course through the BS Data Science Program as an elective for the Computer Systems bucket. The recordings are not available yet. The course is likely going to be offered from Sep'25 batch.

CS6120 - Wireless Communication and Networks (PG Elective, Diwali'25). *Teaching next semester*



CS6650: Smart Sensing for Internet of Things (PG Elective, Holi'23, Diwali'21, Holi'21).

I also offer this course as an elective for our CSE Web M.Tech program in Information Security. The recordings are publicly available are are linked in the CS6500 webpage.

CS1100: Introduction to Programming (Non-CSE UG Core, Summer'21, Diwali'24). The class also includes a laboratory component.

Holi semester is held between January and May, while Diwali semester is held between August and December. Instead of naming semesters after seasons in the United States (Spring, Fall - hey, Chennai doesn't even have winter), I prefer naming them after two large Indian festivals held during the respective semesters. Yes, India is a "land of festivals"!


Location Tracking for Internet of Things (AICTE QIP Short Term Course, 2022). Recorded lectures are available in the linked course page.
