Share your interestAbout
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 grew up in the beautiful city of Kolkata (Tollygunj).
