Rohit Kumar Das earned his Ph.D. in 2021 from North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Meghalaya, India, where he conducted research on the development of SDN controller for the IoT under the supervision of Prof. Goutam Saha and Dr. Arnab Kumar Maji. He holds an M.Tech degree in Information Technology from Assam University (2014) and a B.Tech degree in Information Technology from Mizoram University (2012). Dr. Das has authored several research papers published in reputed journals and international conferences. He holds two granted patents and has one additional patent published. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM), Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, India.Goutam Saha received his B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering and M.E. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Calcutta, India. He earned his Ph.D. in Bioprocess Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. He also completed postdoctoral research at Ben-Gurion University, Israel, specializing in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. Dr. Saha recently retired as Professor from the Department of Information Technology at North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Shillong — a Central University in India. His research interests encompass Computational Biology, Bioprocess Control, and, more recently, IoT and its applications. Over his distinguished academic career spanning more than 32 years, he served at institutions including NIT Durgapur (12 years), NITTTR Kolkata (1 year), various Government Engineering Colleges in West Bengal (11 years), and NEHU Shillong (over a decade).
