About Me	I am an AI enthusiast with 16 years of teaching and research experience. After pursuing B. Tech and M. Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, I completed my PhD, with the thesis titled “Intelligent Systems in Manifold Decision Making” from National Institute of Technology Durgapur, India. I am currently associated with Dr. B. C. Roy Engineering College Durgapur as Associate Professor in the department of Computer Science and Engineering (AIML). I am able to publish my research findings in 22 international journals, national and international conferences and book chapters till date. I am working as a reviewer of many reputed international journals like, Knowledge Based Systems, Applied Soft Computing, International Journal of Fuzzy Systems, Frontiers in Oncology etc. I am passionate about research and curious about applying different AI/ML/DL algorithms to solve various real life problems in biology, agriculture, environment and manufacturing industries. I have the ability to collaborate with other experts from different fields to achieve a common goal. I believe in and am committed to develop AI systems that are fair, transparent, and unbiased. I have developed various modern ML/DL models using Tensorflow and Pytorch and developed some expertise in ideating ML pipelines for complex real-life problems.
