About Me: I am working as an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science & Engineering Department at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, India. Before taking up teaching responsibilities, I worked as a cyber security researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT), Germany. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India, in 2019. I primarily work on the vulnerability assessment of application layer protocols. I have published one CVE and a few research papers in core security journals such as IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, Computers \& Security, ACM Computing Surveys, and conferences like INFOCOM, ARES, and COMSNETS. Outside my research and academia, I enjoy playing guitar and love everything about music. I love listening to music genres like Sufi, Rajasthani folk and sentimental ballads. I am keenly interested in travelling and exploring the local culture of different places. I have extensively travelled within India (except for seven sisters), Europe (a long list :D), Sri Lanka, UAE, and Vietnam. Whenever I feel blank, I choose to ride my Dominar 400. I enjoy watching modern history documentaries and reading about how the world map evolved after the wars. I am also an automotive and technology enthusiast.
Research Interest: Network Security, System Security, Computer Networks, Intelligent Transportation Systems
