A teacher's legacy is measured in the people and ideas they leave behind — and few have shaped VLSI and hardware security at IIT Kharagpur as deeply as 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐚.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, warmly invites you to a 𝐎𝐧𝐞-𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐋𝐒𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬, held in honour of Prof. Sengupta on the occasion of his 65th birthday.
Date: Friday, 26 June 2026

Venue: Gargi Auditorium, IIT Kharagpur

A distinguished line-up of speakers will share perspectives across formal verification, VLSI systems, and hardware security:

🔹 Prof. Rolf Drechsler, University of Bremen (online) — Polynomial Formal Verification

🔹 Prof. Virendra Singh, IIT Bombay — Academic Talk

🔹 Prof. Bhargab B. Bhattacharya, IIEST Shibpur — Academic Talk

🔹 Dr. Ritu Ranjan Shrivastwa, Secure-IC, France — Beyond PPA: Designing VLSI Systems for Security, Safety, and Certifiability

The day begins at 10:00 AM with a felicitation and a few words from Prof. Sengupta himself, followed by the technical talks through the afternoon.

Colleagues, students, and well-wishers are all warmly invited to join us in celebrating a remarkable career and a lifetime of mentorship.

How does human behavior shape the spread of infectious disease — and how does disease reshape human behavior?

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, is delighted to host Dr. Piklu Mallick for a talk on the complex feedback loop between epidemics and society.

𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬
Date: Monday, 22 June
Time: 4:00 PM
Venue: Prof. N Kesavamurthy Seminar Room (CSE-106)

Dr. Mallick will explore both directions of the disease–behavior feedback loop. He will discuss the "testing paradox" — a counterintuitive regime where true infection prevalence falls even as reported cases rise — and what it means for public health decision-making. Using COVID-19 data and Bayesian inference, he will then show how collective responses to an evolving epidemic can be quantified, including the delay and the key drivers behind population-level behavioral change.

A central theme of the talk is how physics-based tools, dynamical systems analysis, and statistical inference can together illuminate the interplay between disease dynamics and human behavior.

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: Dr. Piklu Mallick is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, in the group of Prof. Dr. Viola Priesemann. He recently completed his PhD in Physics at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, with doctoral research on the feedback loop between human behavior and infectious disease dynamics. Combining mechanistic compartmental models with hierarchical Bayesian inference, his work spans COVID-19 dynamics, sexually transmitted infections, and network-based epidemic models, with publications in PNAS and other journals. He brings an interdisciplinary background in Physics and VLSI Design from the University of Calcutta.

Faculty members and students are warmly invited to attend.

Congratulations to Sai Keerthana Karnam, a PhD scholar at our Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, on being selected for the 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 (𝐌𝐒𝐑) 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝. We are proud to see her work recognised by one of the leading research labs in the field.

Keerthana's research, carried out under the supervision of Prof. Animesh Mukherjee, looks at how people interact with conversational AI systems, and how these systems shape user behaviour, decision making, trust, and autonomy. As AI assistants become part of everyday life, understanding their real world impact on society matters more than ever.

Her work studies how people use AI, how conversations can steer users, and how personalisation and memory shape these interactions, so as to surface both the opportunities and the risks of increasingly capable AI systems. The longer goal is to build methods for auditing and evaluating deployed AI systems, and to help design AI that is transparent, trustworthy, and aligned with human values.

Please join us in congratulating Keerthana and Prof. Mukherjee on this well deserved recognition. We look forward to the impact her work will have.

Which problems can a computer truly solve efficiently — and can we answer that using nothing more than addition and multiplication? These are the questions that drive 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐀𝐛𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐣𝐞𝐞's research.

We're delighted to welcome Prof. Chatterjee to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. A theoretical computer scientist working in algebraic complexity, he designs algorithms using the elegant machinery of algebra to attack some of the deepest open problems in computation.

His work has appeared at the field's most prestigious venues, including STOC, FOCS, and the SIAM Journal on Computing, spanning problems from identity testing of algebraic formulas to the long-studied relationship between determinants and algebraic branching programs.

In his own words: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself to 'make a difference.' Instead, focus on enjoying the process of learning, thinking, and challenging yourself." And when the problems get tough, you might just find him reaching for his guitar.

Swipe through to learn what first drew him to complexity theory, the problem that excites him most right now, and the two researchers — one past, one present — he'd most love to work alongside.

Prof. Chatterjee is currently looking for motivated PhD students eager to explore theoretical computer science. If that sounds like you, reach out.

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐆𝐏, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐣𝐞𝐞!

We are delighted to share the successful completion of our workshop on Advances in Theoretical Computer Science!

Over the course of the workshop, participants explored a diverse range of fascinating topics, including Approximation algorithms, Computational Geometry, Reliability of Statistical Samplers, Quantum Complexity and Fourier Analysis of Boolean Functions. The lectures offered valuable insights into both foundational concepts and exciting new directions in theoretical computer science.

The workshop celebrates the 65th birth year of Prof. Sudebkumar Prasant Pal, a distinguished alumnus of the Department and a pioneer whose work in Computational Geometry and Graph Theory has shaped the field and inspired generations of researchers.

A sincere thank you to all the speakers, participants, and organizers whose enthusiasm and engagement made the workshop a rewarding learning experience. We look forward to many more such opportunities to foster collaboration, curiosity, and research in this vibrant field.

We are thrilled to share a remarkable recognition for our faculty!

🏆 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗼𝗳-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 — 𝗜𝗖𝗪𝗦𝗠 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹 (𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗿, 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁. 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗦𝗘, 𝗜𝗜𝗧 𝗞𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗽𝘂𝗿) and his collaborators — Leandro Araújo, Denzil Correa, and Fabrício Benevenuto — have received the 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗼𝗳-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗔𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 (𝗜𝗖𝗪𝗦𝗠 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲) for their 2016 paper:

"𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮"

Published a decade ago, this work conducted one of the first large-scale systematic studies of online hate speech, examining its targets across platforms like Twitter and Whisper. The research introduced a principled, scalable methodology to detect and categorize hate speech — by race, behavior, physical characteristics, sexual orientation, gender, religion, and more — yielding insights that have shaped how researchers and practitioners approach hate speech detection to this day.

A decade later, the questions this paper raised remain urgently relevant. This award is a testament to the work's lasting scientific impact and its continued relevance to online safety, content moderation, and social computing research.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Mainack Mondal on this wonderful milestone. We are proud to have him as part of our department!
