I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati, India. Following my doctoral studies, I pursued postdoctoral research as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

My research interests primarily lie in:

• Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Acoustic Sensing
• Sensing Techniques

In addition, my earlier research contributions have spanned:

• In-network data fusion for resource-constrained environments
• Machine inference on low-power and embedded devices
• Sentiment analysis on large-scale textual data
• Community detection in social networks

I bring with me 5+ years of teaching experience, both within India and internationally, which has further enriched my academic and research perspectives.

I am always open to discussions, collaborations, and research opportunities.
Feel free to connect with me via email or through my social media pages.
