For the next few years, I have decided to focus on sensing and mobile computing with applications in critical domains such as healthcare and building utility (energy/water) management. I am particularly interested in systems that support effective data collection and modeling (thereof) specifically for such application domains.

During my MS and PhD, I worked with a multi-disciplinary team consisting of experts in robotics, statistics, machine learning, ecology and biology for critical applications in environmental sensing including water quality monitoring and energy, water flow and traffic accounting. I was involved in several field campaign wherein we deployed sensors for each of these applications and performed multiple real world studies developing new hypothesis as well as validating some of the older ones.

Moving back to India, I am now keen on continuing the application oriented research and expanding the application domain from environmental sensing to low cost technologies for applications such as building management and healthcare, especially exploiting the ubiquitous cellular network. As part of mobile computing group at IIIT-Delhi, we are exploring several opportunities in healthcare, IVR systems, building management etc. For more details, refer to our group page.

Open Positions

Summer Interns: We publish internship opportunities in our group around February/March every year. Please refer to IIIT-Delhi website and our group website for more details. I typically do not personally offer any internship/project to students during regular semesters.

UG Researchers: We are open to students from other institutes who want to engage in cutting-edge research in our group. You should be amongst the top 5-10 in your institute and should be willing to commit for a long term (at least 1 summer internship and at least 1 semester long official project) to stand any chance to be selected.

Research Associate: If you graduated from one of the top colleges in India; are bored with the mundane work in your job and/or would like to build up a CV for applying abroad for higher studies, being an RA in our research group will help. You should be committed to spending 1-2 years with us for applying for this position. It will be a full time position for which the compensation will be decided based on your skills.

Project Engineer: We are looking for full time engineers to manage deployment work involved in each of our application domains - Healthcare and Building Energy Management. You should be a graduate from one of the top colleges in India, have good academic and professional experience and enjoy tinkering with the systems and interfacing systems with people. You should be committed to spending at least 1-2 years with us.

PhD students: If you are/were amongst the top in your institute and have a mindset where you like to be challenged, are willing to work hard and would like to contribute your bit to the critical problems facing our generation today, PhD in our group will be the right thing to explore.
