About Me: Joined IIT(ISM) Dhanbad as an assistant professor since May, 2026. Prior to this position, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair of Mobile Systems, University of Bamberg, Germany from 2024 to 2026. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur in 2024, where I was affiliated with the two eminent research groups, Ubiquitous and Networked Systems Lab (UbiNET) and the Complex Network Research Group (CNeRG). My research interests lie in ubiquitous sensing, mobility data analytics, privacy and trust in pervasive systems and intelligent transportation systems, driven by a passion for creating practical, human-centered solutions through data and system design. Before my doctoral journey, I earned my Master’s degree in Computer Science from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST) Shibpur, where I graduated as the departmental topper in 2018. Beyond research, I have a deep appreciation for arts and crafts and often spend my leisure time painting - a creative pursuit that continues to inspire my academic work with balance and perspective.

Research Interest: Ubiquitous computing, Human computer interaction, Privacy and trust in cyber physical systems.
