Samaresh Bera

PhD Research Scholar, IIT Kharagpur

I am pursuing my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India under the supervision of Dr. Sudip Misra. I was a Research Engineer at INRIA (Sophia Antipolis) in a joint collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs, France. I received the M.S. degree from the School of Information Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India in 2015. I also received the B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology, India in 2011. My current research interests include software-defined networking, internet of things, smart grid communications and networking, cloud computing, and wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks.
