My Career and What I have Been Exposed to.

Ph. D. Research Scholar, IIT Kharagpur

January 2015 - Present

 I am a full-time Ph. D. scholar in Prof. Sudip Misra's Smart Wireless Applications and Networking (SWAN) Lab. in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. My research is focused around Internet of Things, Networked UAV Controls and Collaborative Network Formation in mobile agents.

Senior Research Fellow (ICAR), IIT Kharagpur

October 2017 - March 2018

 I have been associated as a Senior Research Fellow at the Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, India. The project was funded by ICAR (Govt. of India), New Delhi, towards the Development of Precision Robotic Planter. I was responsible for conceptualizing and implementing algorithms, methods and hardware for agricultural robotic planter. The planter has to autonomously navigate a given plot of land and plant seedlings at pre-defined intervals.

Senior Research Fellow (ITRA), IIT Kharagpur

 October 2014 - July 2017

I have been associated as a Senior Research Fellow at the Dept. of Agriculture & Food Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, India. The project was funded by ITRA, DeITy, New Delhi. The main focus of my work was increasing water use efficiency through experimental sensor networks. I provided technical know-how, implementation and support for deployment and analysis of data gathered from wireless sensor networks, deployed for in-field monitoring of agricultural data. Developed and implemented an IoT- Cloud based infrastructure for integrating and automated analysis of the incoming field data. Additionally, I designed various smartphone apps and sensor nodes for low-cost field parameter monitoring.

Assistant Professor, University of Engineering and Management (Jaipur)

 June 2012- October 2014

Employed in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. I was responsible for teaching as well as administrative assignments. The teaching assignments spanned over theory as well as practical classes. Administrative tasks involved the assignment of acting Head of Department for a period of 2 years from 2013-2015. Oversaw and implemented the setting up and planning of over 7 laboratories, as well as student welfare activities such as workshops, internships and industrial visits.

Summer Intern, DRDO DESIDOC- (Defence Scientific Information & Documentation Center), New Delhi

 May 2009- July 2009

Applied various data-mining and visualization techniques for analyzing interdependence between various users and their field of research. The data analyzed was acquired from the DRDO central library, which had information about various scientists and their book issue records. This work culminated in the publication of a magazine article and a research paper.

Intern, CSE, IIT Kharagpur

 Jan 2009- Feb 2009

Implemented various image processing technologies to perform segmentation and thresholding of satellite images, for detection of aircraft in the satellite images.

Intern, Center for Electronics Test Engineering (CETE) ,
Kolkata

Learned about various Intel based micro-controllers and micro-processors. Implemented the technologies learned to design an automated traffic light controller using Atmel 89c51 based micro-processor.
