Dr Shreenath Acharya

Professor & HOD

About

I am an academician with over 25 years of teaching experience having a blend of knowledge in computers, electrical and electronics fields. Actively involved in the activities of transforming engineering education through technology.

The prime motivation for me to pursue an academic career is to get an opportunity to teach, advise and motivate the students. With several years of experience as a teacher, mentor and guide I have gained a deep insight into the circumstances and the environment in which students effectively contribute and also how the teacher can be a facilitator to aid in their efficient learning.

My short-term goal is to effectively practice teaching learning in the educational environment. My long-term aspiration is to become an excellent educator and facilitator in a well reputed, quality research-oriented institution/university by fostering the learners to be critical thinkers. In the current context, research activities play an important role in the development of an educator since it has a direct impact on quality of teaching learning and also towards betterment of the society. My research interests include diverse fields like cloud computing, data science/big data analytics, AI & ML based predictions and network security related aspects. I believe that the ultimate goal of a research is to discover new ideas that would help solve issues in the society. I would like to nurture and guide students towards their research work so that together we could venture and collaborate for quality work thereby enhancing our knowledge and skills.
