The trajectory of my life was set into motion by the initial conditions of my birth in 1996 around Kolkata, India. The transient dynamics, my education at various institutions along with the influence of a few great minds shaped my intellectual evolution. After choosing a research career in 2019, I encountered a powerful attractor at Central University of Rajasthan drawing me into the realms of complex systems, machine learning, and chaos theory. After completing PhD in 2023, I hopped to another attractor at The University of Tokyo to continue my postdoctoral research. Currently, I’m exploring new dimensions in the ever-expanding phase space of studying dynamical systems in the light of reservoir computing.
Intermittently, I enjoy exploring new innovations in cutting edge technologies and engineering marvels in various fields as a tech enthusiast. With abundant entropy inside, I hope to travel different parts of the world. I'm always open to new experiences, cultures, and ways of lives.
