Profile

I'm a CPS-IoT Researcher Cum Software Engineer

About me

I am a highly motivated, systematic and result oriented researcher with an inquisitive mind and array of complementary theoretical-practical analysis and technical experience in the domain of Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT). I am also a Software Engineer having end-to-end web developing experience with good knowledge of Third Party Integrations and API Management. I love working in a team since it helps to learn and grow much faster. As I like the saying: 'Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships'.

Educations

IIT Kharagpur

Research Group: HiPRC - CSE IIT Kgp

Supervisor: Dr Soumyajit Dey

Joint Supervisor: Dr Alok Kanti Deb

Jan 2018 - Present

Degree Course - MS by Research (Specialization: Wireless CPS) Low-power wireless technology promises greater flexibility and lower costs in cyber-physical systems. State-of-the-art wireless technologies like WirelessHART, ZigBee and ISA100.11a have led to the use of multi-hop wireless networks for (open-loop) monitoring of large-scale industrial systems. I have learned about the 3 Cs (Communication, Computation, and Control) - the backbone of Wireless CPS, and therefore, applied my theoretical knowledge to model complex, networked CPS with minimal design effort. On course of implementation, I gained knowledge about both hardware and software development using Arduino programming, Nordic and LoRa radio transceivers, cross-platform Qt, Matlab-Simulink, Python etc. Kharagpur, India | http://www.iitkgp.ac.in

Bachelor - Electrical Engineering I primarily learned all core electrical subjects along with manufacturing technology, engineering mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but I also learnt SQL, C programming and OOP concepts. Other than academics, I focused on building soft and transferable skills. Howrah, India | https://www.iiests.ac.in | Degree Certificate

Midnapore Collegiate School

May 2008 - May 2010

Higher Secondary - 12th Standard (Specialization: Pure Science) The education was mainly mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but my additional subject was computer science. I learned about web- and user-experience design and development here. My project was developing a small website for my school. Midnapore, India | http://midnaporecollegiateschool.org.in |
Certificate of Honour

Keshiary High School

Jun 2005 - April 2008

Madhyamik - 10th Standard I passed my 10th standard excelling in physical science, mathematics, life science, and the arts. During the time, I started developing interest in computer and web, so I tried making modest flash applications. Keshiary, India | Official Facebook Page
