Brief Bio

I was fortunate to have Srinivas Katkoori as supervisor during my doctoral journey in Computer Science and Engineering. Previously, I studied Electronics and Communications Engineering at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology. I have also spent some time at ON Semiconductor. I am broadly interested in scalable and provable security, adversarial intelligence (ML and DL). My research is supported by generious equipment donation from Intel and Xilinx.

There would be research position(s) open for MS and/or BS student(s). Please email your dossier once you get accepted to the program.
