Presently, I am working as Associate Professor and have more than 18 years of teaching and research experience with the Department of Computer Science & Engineering and Information Technology, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida-62, U.P. I have recently completed at PG Level Advanced Certification Program in AI & MLOps from IISc Bangalore. I have published almost 50 articles in reputed SCI/Scopus journals, conferences, books, and chapters. Also, I’ve participated in organizing international conferences/sessions. I have delivered guest lectures for PhD course work in government university, as well as in various FDPs. I have been a regular paper setter, Examiner, and moderator of various national levels DOAECC –C / O Level exam/ NIELIT. Moreover, I have been a reviewer for many international conference and journals, including Central European Journal of Geoscience, Publisher: Versita; IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing; Signal Processing, Publisher: Elsevier; Transaction on Geoscience and Remote Sensing; IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine; IEEE Colloquium of Humanities, Science, and Engineering Research; IEEE Symposium on Business, Engineering and Industrial Applications (ISBEIA), UPCON 2018; E-Health 2012 Conference; 2012 IEEE Colloquium of Humanities, Science, and Engineering Research; 2012 IEEE Symposium on Business, Engineering and Industrial Applications; 2012 & 2013 IEEE Symposium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research (SHUSER). Additionally, I have been in the TPC member International Conference on Contemporary Computing (IC3) since its inception in the year 2008. I have guided more than 20 post-graduate dissertation/industrial thesis and more than 120 graduate major and minor projects in the fields of multimedia, AR-VR, Image and Video Processing and Analysis and learning. social networking, large-scale graph algorithms, sensor networks, data mining & machine learning. Apart from the aforementioned area, I am also working in the fields of emotion detection and analysis from EEG signal and Plant disease recognition and analysis along with my 2 research scholars.
