FACULTY PROFILE

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronics Engineering, RGIPT, Jais, Amethi, which is an Institute of National Importance. I completed my Ph.D. degree in February 2022 from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Patna, India. I was fortunate to work under the supervision of Dr. Sudhir Kumar. I received my M.Tech. Degree in Communication Systems Engineering from Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Patna in 2018. After completing my Ph.D., I worked as Research Scientist-B at DST-MCECCR, IESD, BHU for six months in the field of climate informatics using artificial intelligence. I was also associated with Tata Consultancy Services for 5.5 Years as IT Analyst before my M.Tech degree. My research interest includes the broad area of signal processing for IoT networks. I am focused and curious to work on sensor data analytics, localization, activity recognition, bio-medical signal processing, and climate change analytics. I am the Co-Founder of Dhenutrack Private Limited, which is working on an automated cow management system and tracking.
