Researcher | Netaji Subhas University of Technology | India
Mr. Rounak Raman is a highly suitable candidate for a Best Researcher Award based on the exceptional depth, interdisciplinary breadth, and real-world impact of his academic and research profile as a final-year B.Tech student in Information Technology at Netaji Subhas University of Technology with a strong CGPA of 8.87 and consistent academic excellence since school. His research experience spans high-impact domains including neuroscience, IoT networking, cybersecurity, wireless sensor networks, and generative AI, with substantive internships at DRDO-INMAS and NSUT where he developed deployable EEG-based neurofeedback systems and energy-aware IoT clustering protocols that delivered measurable performance gains in efficiency, engagement, and network lifetime. He has led multiple nationally recognized innovation projects such as PRAGATI, a YOLO-based smart parking system that won Runner-Up at Smart India Hackathon, and SyntheX, a generative AI document intelligence platform ranked Top 10 out of 4,000 teams at the Accenture Innovation Challenge, demonstrating both research rigor and translation to real-world applications. His ongoing journal publications in reputed international journals on secure wireless sensor networks and opportunistic networks further strengthen his research credentials. In addition to technical excellence, his leadership as Founding Office President of the GovTech Office at NSUT, Vice-President of Nakshatra, and Mentor at GirlScript Summer of Code shows his commitment to building research ecosystems, mentoring peers, and fostering innovation culture. His national and international recognitions, including HPAIR International Delegate, department rank scholarship, conference best presentation award, and multiple entrepreneurship and innovation achievements, reflect consistent excellence and peer validation. With demonstrated originality, publication potential, applied impact, interdisciplinary competence, and leadership in research and innovation, Mr. Rounak Raman clearly meets and exceeds the key benchmarks expected of a Best Researcher Award candidate at the undergraduate level and shows exceptional promise as a future leading researcher.
