About


I am a Prime Minister’s Research Fellow (PMRF) at the Computer Science & Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.

My research is dedicated to solving the complexities of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, where connectivity meets the edge of current technology. Under the mentorship of Amitangshu Pal and Debopam Bhattacherjee, I aim to architect, simulate, and analyze pioneering solutions in networked systems and the Internet of Things (IoT).

My academic journey began with a B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology, followed by an M.Tech. in Information Technology at the University of Hyderabad. Building on this foundation, my work at IIT Kanpur explores topics from advanced LEO constellation design and simulation to the impact of solar phenomena on satellite performance.
