I am a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincon, NE and a Visiting Computer Scientist in USDA-ARS, Beltsville, MD.
I am primarily interested in building robust and resilient application-specific IoT-enabled systems. I work in AI/ML/Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Edge Computing, tinyML, and Federated Learning in mainly two application domains- Image Forensics at Edge and Smart Agriculture.
I did my PhD in Computer science and Engineering at University of North Texas, Denton, TX. My PhD advisor was Dr. Saraju P. Mohanty. I obtained my M. Tech and B.Tech in Radiophysics and Electronics (aka Computer Engineering) from the University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India. I have another bachelor’s in Physics (Hons) from Presidency College, Kolkata, India.
