Profile

Biography

I received the B.Tech. degree in Computer Science & Engineering from the Integral University, India, in 2008, the M.Tech. degree in Computer Engineering from the Manav Rachna International University, India, in 2011, and the PhD degree in computer science from University of Ulster University, Derry~Londonderry, U.K., in 2016. I worked as Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the University of Ulster in Neural Systems and Neuro-technology research team for EEG and MEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces in 2016. Later, I joined as a Postdoctoral Research Officer in the Farr Institute of Health Informatics Research, Swansea University Medical School, U.K (2016-2017). From Nov-2017, I am working at the University of Essex.
