Hi! I am Barun. I am a Senior R&D Engineer with Hitachi Energy, Bangalore, India. I primarily work on AI, Generative AI, and networks.

I received a PhD degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. In my PhD thesis, titled “Content Dissemination in Opportunistic Mobile Networks (OMNs),” I investigated different modes of distributing content to the users in OMNs. I also received the MS (by Research) degree from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Prior to that, I was with Wipro Technologies.

In the past, I have extensively worked with Opportunistic Mobile Networks, and co-authored a textbook on the subject. I had co-organized the first ACM MobiCom Workshop on Future Industrial Communication Networks at New Delhi, India, in 2018.

I also write poetry. Some of my poems can be found on Twitter/X.
