His research articles have been published in leading academic conferences and journals like International Conference on Information Systems, Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems, Academy of Management Proceedings, Journal of Computer Information Systems, Information Technology for Development, Journal of Business Analytics, Journal of Global Information Technology Management, Electronic Commerce Research, and Journal of Cleaner Production.
Additional Details
Gaurav has executed research projects funded by public and private organisations such as SERB, ICSSR, NMHS, Fuzzy Logix, and IIT Roorkee. At IIT Roorkee, he usually teaches IT & Organization, Digital Transformation & Business, Data Science & Big Data Analytics, Programming for AI/Data Science, and Deep Learning.
Gaurav started his professional career at Hewlett Packard (HP) as a software/systems engineer in 2007. His work at HP included product R&D in Network File System (NFS), Network Information Service (NIS), and High-availability (HA) clusters on the HP-UX operating system. In 2014, Gaurav joined the Strategy Group at Sharda University, where he spent his time on Enterprise Software projects (LIBSYS, PeopleSoft, CampusLynx) and their implementation as Project manager on deputation.
Previously, Gaurav has taken courses as a visiting/guest faculty at the Indian Institute of Management Indore and NIFT Bangalore. He earned his doctoral degree (Information Systems) in 2014 from the Indian Institute of Management Indore and an engineering degree (B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering) in 2007 from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi.
When he gets some free time, you may find him wandering in the Himalayas, exploring ancient mystical places.
