I am working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree from Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 2009 and Master of Technology (M Tech) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), both from IIT Guwahati, in 2011 and 2014, respectively. As a system researcher, my primary research interests is in the intersection of computer systems, human computer interaction and machine learning. More specifically, I work on various aspects of computer systems and networks, the development of assistive technologies for societal well-being, and the design of distributed, pervasive, and ubiquitous technologies over mobile devices and smartphones.
I am coordinating the Ubiquitous Networked Systems Lab (UbiNET) at IIT Kharagpur, focusing on various aspects of computer systems along with the design and development of ubiquitous and pervasive sensing systems. I am an active member of the COMSNETS Association, India, IEEE COMSOC, ACM SIGCOMM, and ACM SIGMOBILE. I am one of the founding members of ACM IMOBILE, the ACM SIGMOBILE chapter in India. Currently, I am also working as an Area Editor of IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, and Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing journals.
This paper explores the use of LLMs as a virtual annotator for auto-annotating IMU data used for Human activity recognition.
This paper explores the indoor air quality and pollutants spreat in indoor spaces through a pervasive sensing platform named DALTON.
This work developed an alerting system for smartphone distraction during driving while using a zero-configuration approach.
This work develops a dynamic road safety map by inferring the causal chains of contextual factors associated with risky driving.
This work developed a personalized recommendation system for driving through a new city, by using smartphone sensing.
This work shown that LLMs can help in active learning for human-in-the-loop data annotation for physical sensing data.
This work developed a driving behavior annotation model based on the impact of driving environment.
