About Me
I am a research scholar in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, under the supervision of Prof. Sandip Chakraborty. My research interests lie broadly in the fields of millimeter-wave sensing, mobile computing, IoT. I am part of the UbiNet research group.
I had the privilege of working as a Research Intern at Nokia Bell Labs, Cambridge, UK, from June 2025 - Aug 2025, within the Device Forms team led by Alessandro Montanari. During this period, I engaged in research at the intersection of medical and wearable technologies.
I was also fortunate to participate in a month-long research exchange at the University of Bremen, Germany, in December 2024, under the DST-DAAD joint project supervised by Prof. Rolf Drechsler.
Earlier, I had the opportunity to serve as a Visiting Postgraduate Research Student at the School of Computing and Information Systems, Singapore Management University (SMU), from August 2023 to February 2024. There, I worked under the supervision of Prof. Archan Misra and Prof. Thivya Kandappu.
Primary Research Experience
- Experience with mmWave and acoustic FMCW signal processing techniques. I have used mmWave and accoustic FMCW sensors for localization, tracking and activity recognition of humans under indoor environments.
- Hands-on experience in hardware prototyping including circuit design, circuit debugging, deployment. Developed prototype hardwares for Embedded Pollution Sensors mounted on a drone for air quality assesment.
- Experience conducting human research studies. Conducted real-time driver inattenviness study using COTS mmWave Radars by collecting doppler shifts in the mmWave data because of drivers attentive body movements, such as talking, yawning, nodding, etc.
- Experience with design of UAVs, control systems, RF communication devices. Developed drones using ArduCopter APM flight controller board and mounted air quality measurement sensors.
- Experience with Computer Networks, IoT devices, Distributed Sensor Networks. Worked on energy optimisation in 5G Cellular Networks, using network simulator ns-3.
