Faculty Profile

I am currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics, Faculty of Science, at St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata. I was previously working as adjunct faculty in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Adamas University. I hold a doctoral degree in statistics from Banaras Hindu University, a master’s degree in statistics from Visva-Bharati University, and a bachelor’s degree in statistics from Midnapore College (autonomous). I was an INSPIRE scholarship recipient throughout my bachelor’s and master’s. I have attended and presented research papers at several national and international conferences, both in and outside of India. I have several publications in Web of Science/Scopus-indexed journals. I have also served as a peer reviewer for several international journals. My research interests primarily include reliability theory, Bayesian inference, and statistical computation.
