Biography

I have received the B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Patna, India, in 2017, and the M.E. degree in Control System and Robotics from Jadavpur University (JU), Kolkata, India, in 2020. I am currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at Colorado State University (CSU), Fort Collins, CO, USA. My research interests include cybersecurity, firmware security, AI planning, and machine learning. I have contributed to the development of secure frameworks like the Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT) and has actively participated in projects such as Microsoft Project Cerberus. I have published in various international conferences and journals, and he received the Best Paper Awards at the IEEE QRS 2024 and IEEE TPS 2024 Conference. I am also a student member of IEEE.
