  • Riya Samanta

    Ph.D (UGC Fellow) at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur

    Short Bio

    I am a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. I am working under the supervision of Professor Soumya K. Ghosh (IIT Kharagpur) and Professor Sajal K. Das (Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA). My research interests include algorithm design, matching problems in crowdsourcing, embedded AI and tinyML. And apart from academia, I am a trained Classical and Western dancer.
