I am a PhD candidate in Information and Decision Sciences (IDSC) at the Carlson School of Management (CSOM), University of Minnesota. Earlier I earned an MBA degree from CSOM, majoring in Finance and Information Systems (IS). Prior to joining the CSOM, I was awarded a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in Computer Science and Technology by what is now Bengal Engineering and Science University (BESU), India.

I have spent close to a decade in the information technology (IT) services industry, working in Asia, Europe, and North America on software development projects. During this time, apart from managing IT projects, I have also analyzed, designed, and coded information systems.

My primary research interest lies in studying electronic market mechanisms such as electronic auctions. Currently, I am involved in studying information revelation policies for combinatorial and multidimensional bidding environments with the objective of making these advanced allocation and procurement mechanisms more generally available in the online marketplace. I use computer simulations and laboratory experiments to study certain aspects of these mechanisms. I have presented my research in major IS conferences, including the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), the Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems (WITS), the Workshop on Information Systems Economics (WISE), and the INFORMS Conference on Information Systems and Technology (CIST). I expect to graduate by July 2009.
