Profile

Biography

Dr. Saha is a lecturer (assistant professor) at the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex. In addition, he is a member of the school's Robotics and Embedded Systems Research Group. Prior to that, he worked as a lecturer at the University of Huddersfield, UK, and Senior research officer (Postdoctoral scholar) at the University of Essex, UK. Primarily, his research expertise is in embedded systems, with specific interests that include real-time scheduling, scheduling for FPGAs, fault tolerance, and approximation-based real-time computing. In his Ph.D., he presented a few novel ideas for designing scheduling strategies for hard real-time tasks on reconfigurable hardware (FPGAs) and multicore systems (MPSoC). During his postdoctoral research, he worked at the EPSRC National Centre for Nuclear Robotics (NCNR), based at the University of Essex. In NCNR, he developed cutting-edge technology for designing embedded systems to provide redundancy, resilience, and robustness against damage by various extreme environments. Currently, at Essex, he is working on two research directions. First, he explores efficient tasks to processor-cores mapping strategies in approximated real-time computing, both at the system and architectural levels, so power can be minimized while maximizing execution efficiency. Secondly, his research involves developing FPGA/GPU heterogeneous-based systems to execute deep learning techniques on embedded edge devices with limited resources and latency budgets. He is currently involved with several ongoing EPSRC-funded projects at the research group. He published several of his research contributions in conferences like DAC, CODES+ISSS, ISCAS, and Euromicro DSD and journals like ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS), IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD), IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems (TSMC), and IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS). He also co-authored a book on real-time scheduling for FPGAs, published by Springer. Additionally, he has served as a technical committee member for several conferences. He also received the Yerun (Young European Research University) Research Mobility Award 2021 and currently working as a YERUN fellow with the University of Bremen, Germany. In addition, he has strong collaborations with industry and has been working with several universities in the UK and EU. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Prospective students interested in researching real-time embedded systems, computer architecture, and system design for various application domains are encouraged to contact him by e-mail along with their CVs.
