About Me

Hi! I am currently pursuing my M.Tech. degree from the department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur under the supervision of Prof. Pawan Goyal. The area of my research here is Sentiment Analysis in social media at aspect-level, in an unsupervised manner. I'm a part of the Complex Network Research Group (CNeRG) here at IIT Kharagpur.

I am from Siliguri, West Bengal currently studying at IIT Kharagpur. I'm fluent in English and Hindi, and can speak Bengali to some extent as well.

Well, there is more to me than just studies. I have a deep interest in reading, solving puzzles and photography, in that order.
