Hi.

I am an assistant professor in the Dept. of Electronics and Communication Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR). I completed my undergraduate, graduate and doctoral work at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK). I worked as the manager of the Berkeley Device Modeling Center and as a postdoctoral scholar in the BSIM group at the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California Berkeley.

My work primarily involves semiconductor physics as well as the the analysis, modeling and design of semiconductor devices. A major part of my group's work is developing compact models. I am a co-developer of multiple industry standard models including BSIM-BULK, BSIM-IMG, BSIM-CMG, BSIM-SOI and ASM-HEMT. We also develop various compact models for different industry clients. We are one of the leaders in the area of machine learning for electronic design automation. My group also works on various logic and memory devices, cryogenic device-circuit codesign, 2D materials and green energy.

My hometown is the city of Durgapur in West Bengal. I am passionate about automobiles. I also play multiple musical instruments, create digital artworks and love playing football.
