Snehasis Addy

Hi all! 👋 I’m Snehasis, a second-year PhD student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. I work in the Laboratory for Advanced System Software working with Prof. Prashant Shenoy and Prof. VP Nguyen. My interests broadly lie in the area of Neuromorphic Wearable Technology, with a focus on applications such as Audio Sensing, Health Sensing, Internet of Things, and Ubiquitous Computing. My current research looks into developing neuromorphic-based sensing systems to advance wearable health monitoring technologies.

As far as my background goes, I hold a thesis-based M.Sc. degree from the University of Calgary, where I studied coding theory and implemented new error-correction codes for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), focusing particularly on polar codes (you can find my thesis here). Prior to that, I graduated from IIT Dhanbad in 2021, receiving a B.Tech. in ECE.

Beyond research, I enjoy playing racquet sports, primarily tennis and squash, and exploring the culinary art of Indian cuisine. Additionally, I’m an avid fan of winter sports, especially ice skating and the occasional skiing adventure.
