Brief introduction of research:

In my research career, I have developed a good background in several research fields to ensure my future success as a research oriented person. Over the last four-five years, I have gained Ph.D. and research experience in the main areas of software engineering and soft computing. In my research work, my experience of working in software company helped me a lot in context of programming skills. During my research journey, I also worked in the field of Image Processing. Side by side, I have also worked in the area of Image Processing. Many papers has been published in the selected area of interest. Some of the main research publications are as under:
