About

I am currently pursuing my Doctoral Program in Computer Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Newark, USA. I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at Heritage Institute Of Technology (HIT), Kolkata, India in June 2024. During my undergraduate studies, I published three research papers, showcasing my strong commitment to advancing knowledge in my field. I have a keen interest in exploring and developing Large Language Models, Visual Language Models, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality, with a particular focus on their applications in the medical field. Additionally, I am an active student member of the National Academy of Innovators (NAI) Chapter at NJIT, contributing to the innovative landscape at the institution.

Hobbies

Outside the lab, I'm a bit of a puzzle aficionado—I'm a professional speedcuber and a card-carrying member of the World Cubing Association (WCA). Yes, I can solve a Rubik's Cube faster than you can say "algorithm"! When I'm not twisting and turning cubes, you'll find me strategizing on the chessboard, idolizing the brilliance of Magnus Carlsen and the young prodigy Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa. And though my paintbrushes have been gathering dust for a while, I like to think I can still whip up a decent landscape when inspiration strikes. Who knows, maybe one day I'll create a masterpiece that combines all my quirky passions!
