Interests

My primary interests are in the theory, practice and art of wireless systems for communications, sensing and prediction. I am interested in all layers of the protocol stack, from the physical layer to the application layer.

I am also interested in building trustworthy distributed systems.

I relish the opportunity to work with creative (but not necessarily visionary or disruptive) problem solvers across disciplines.

Brief Bio

I am a Member of Technical Staff within Bell Labs where I am involved in research with a focus on wireless sensing and distributed systems.

Previously, I served as the Wireless Systems Architect and a Software Lead at ZaiNar, prior to which I served as a Senior Engineer at Cohere Technologies. Before that, I spent six wonderful years in the MS/PhD (Electrical Engineering) program at Stanford University with Andrea Goldsmith as my primary advisor. My PhD thesis is on noncoherent energy-detection-based communications for massive MIMO systems. During my PhD, I was involved with ImpriMed, which is now offering assays for personalizing pet cancer treatment.

My undergraduate studies were in IIT Kanpur where I majored in Electrical Engineering. My BTech project advisor was Ajit Chaturvedi. Before that, I went to South Point High School in my hometown of Kolkata, India.
