Hi, I'm Koustav Kumar Mondal, a Doctoral Scholar

Hello! I am Koustav Kumar Mondal, a doctoral scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, within the Intra-Disciplinary Research Division: Internet of Things and Application. My research is deeply rooted in the field of Hardware Security, where I focus on the design and application of Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) to enhance the security of IoT and IoV ecosystems.

I hold an M.Tech in Information Technology with a specialization in the Internet of Things from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, West Bengal (formerly known as WBUT). During my M.Tech, I worked on a pilot project for BSF India, where I developed an intranet system enabled with blockchain and IPFS, incorporating a query function within the blockchain to ensure secure and efficient data management. My research in IoT Network Security, leveraging blockchain technology, laid the groundwork for innovative security protocols.

I also hold a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the same university, where I focused on Smart City and Smart Grid Systems. My academic and research journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of secure communication protocols, device security, and the practical applications of these technologies in real-world scenarios.

I am committed to advancing hardware security through innovative research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the development of cutting-edge solutions tailored to the evolving needs of IoT and IoV environments.
