About me

I am working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Agartala. My broad area of research interest includes all aspects of natural language processing, information retrieval, social media analytics, the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques, and data science. I am presently working on areas such as Generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). I am also open to Data Science problems. Students interested in working with me in similar areas are most welcome to join my research venture.
