His research interests include Cognitive Radio Networks, MC-CDMA systems, Digital Image Watermarking and Secret Sharing, Compressed Sensing based Image Reconstruction and Disease Diagnosis, and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) based Gradation on Diabetic Retinopathy. His current research areas also include the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) in Spectrum Prediction, Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) in D2D communication and optimal placement of charging station in Electric Vehicle (EV) systems.  He has delivered so far more than 75 invited and tutorial talks in International and National conferences, seminars, workshops and symposiums, FDP program. He also acts as TPC member in various conferences like IEEE ANTS, NCC, ICVGIP. He was General Chair in CCSN 2016 and CCSN 2017 and publication Co-Chair in IEEE ANTS 2018. He has guided so far 20 Ph. D thesis (9 as sole supervisor, 5 as main supervisor and 6 as co-supervisor) and seven (7) Ph. D scholars are working under his supervison. He has so far examined more than 50 Ph. D theses of various institutes that include State universities, Central Universities, NITs, IITs and IIITs. He is serving the members of the Board of Studies for B. Tech and M. Tech courses of Electronics and Communication Engg., Computer Science and Engg., Information Technology, B. Sc and M. Sc courses on Computer Science and Information Technology specialization run by  State University, Private Institutes and University, Central University etc. University (Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology) nominee in Board of Governor (BOG) of Techno College Hoogly, W.B., India. He is an Expert Member of Doctoral Committee (DC) in ECE Dept. of VIGNAN’s (Deemed to be University), Vadlamudi, Guntur, AP, India.
