DOCTORAL STUDENTSIntroduction [Biosketch]
- I received both PhD and M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG), India. I received BE in Computer Science and Engineering from Assam Engineering College (AEC), affiliated to Gauhati University. My primary research interest lies in Theoretical Computer Science, specifically in Distributed Computing, Distributed Artificial Intelligence, Graph Algorithms, Distributed Approximation, and Communication Networks. I have research publications to my credit in IEEE, Springer, and Conferences of International repute. I have also received Best Paper Award in CANDAR 2019 held at Nagasaki, Japan. I worked as an Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Information Technology Pune, Birla Institute of Technology Mesra Ranchi, National Institute of Technology Hamirpur, and Girijananda Chowdhury Institute of Management and Technology Guwahati. Currently I am working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at National Institute of Technology Silchar.
