Dr. Souradyuti Paul is currently the Department Head and an associate professor in the department of CSE of IIT Bhilai. Earlier, he worked as an assistant professor of CSE at IIT Gandhinagar (Jul. 2014 - Oct. 17). He obtained BE, MTech and PhD degrees, respectively, from Jadavpur University (1994 - 98), Indian Statistical Institute (1999 - 01) and KU Leuven (2001 - 06). He spent a long span of time (about 14 years) working as a doctoral, postdoctoral and a guest researcher at various prestigious data security research groups in Europe, USA, and Canada: in KU Leuven (2001 - 08), at NIST/USA (2008 - 12) and in the Univ. of Waterloo (2012 - 14). In addition to carrying out academic research in computer security, he was, in the past, directly involved with (and a major technical contributor to) two cryptographic standardization projects of global impact: ECRYPT-eSTREAM (organized by the European Union, 2005-2008) and SHA-3 (organized by NIST, Govt. of USA, 2007-2012). He led multiple Indian initiatives (undertaken by the Bureau of Indian Standards) in standardizing Blockchain-based applications under various ISO projects. Among others, currently, he is the Chief Coordinator of a Dantewada District Development Design project funded by the Dantewada District Administration, and a Coordinator of the Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) project funded by the Govt. of Chhattisgarh.
