About Me
I am a graduate student in the department of Electrical Engineering at Caltech, working in the DSP group headed by Prof. P. P. Vaidyanathan. I was born and brought up in the city of Calcutta (currently known as Kolkata) in West Bengal, India. I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 2007, with a B. Tech in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. In September 2007, I joined the PhD program in the Electrical Engineering department at Caltech, funded by an Atwood Fellowship. I am currently pursuing my doctoral research under the guidance of Prof. P. P. Vaidyanathan. I spent the summer of 2012 (June-October) at Microsoft Research, Redmond, as an intern working with Dr. Henrique Malvar. I expect to graduate in June 2013.
