About Me

Hello! I am a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Eva Darulovà at Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), Saarbrücken, Germany.

My primary research areas are: Program Analiysis, Abstract Interpretation, Approximate Computing, Bounded Model Checking, Software Reliability Analysis.

Prior to this, I have completed Master of Science (MS) by Research under the supervision of Dr. Soumyajit Dey in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering of Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India.

I did my Bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering from Heritage Institute of Technology , Kolkata. I completed high school from Jadavpur Vidyapith .

    Selected Projects

    Memory Safety Verification of FreeRTOS protocols

    Automated Reasoning Group, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Boston, United States
    Supervisor: Mark Tuttle
    Duration: May 2019 - July 2019

    This project focuses on verifying memory safety of network protocols of Amazon's FreeRTOS using Bounded Model Checking. All proofs are available in Github .

    Automated Verification and Approximation

    Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), Saarbrücken, Germany
    Supervisor: Dr. Eva Darulovà
    Duration: July 2016 - September 2016

    The motivation of this project is to statically infer properties of a program in presence of Imprecise Probabilistic Inputs. The input variables of the program, their distributions and dependencies are considered here; otherwise the analysis may end up with huge over approximation. To propagate the uncertainties through the program, arithmetic operations on abstract structures are required to be defined separately.

    I have worked as a Research Intern on Static Analysis of Programs with Imprecise Probabilistic but Independent Inputs.

    RTOS Validation and Development Support

    Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India
    Supervisors: Prof. (Dr.) Pallab Dasgupta and Dr. Soumyajit Dey
    Sponsor: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited
    Duration: October 2015 - June 2016

    This project focuses on formal verification of a real time operating system controlling a safety critical avionic system. I have worked as a Research Consultant in this project.

    Architecture and Algorithmic Optimizations for Speech based Communication Interfaces on Mobile Devices

    Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India
    Supervisor: Dr. Soumyajit Dey
    Sponsor: Intel Semiconductor (US) Limited
    Duration: September 2013 - January 2016

    Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) on embedded platforms has been gaining popularity. However a pure software or hardware approach limits the performance against the constraints of processing power and memory bandwidth of target platforms. The main objective of this project is to present a hardware-software co-processing speech recognizer where the hardware accelerator would accelerate computationally intensive parts of the algorithm.

    As a Research Consultant my resposibility was to develop a hardware-software co-design of a GMM/HMM based Speech Recognition System.
