Research contribution:
Tea Industry automation:
He is actively engaged in the field of Application of Electronics, Instrumentation and control in tea industry since he started his PhD work in 1994. His research outcomes generated concepts of innovations in Instrumentation and control for the benefit of tea industry of the country. The conventional quality monitoring concepts are envisioned by him with new horizon of electronic controls. As a result he could practically implement his designs on experimental basis in two tea estates viz Chinnamora Tea Estate, Jorhat, Assam and Noor-Bari Tea Estate, Tezpur Assam.
E-Nose development for tea tasting:
Recently his team developed an Electronic Nose (E-Nose) setup at Tezpur University indigenously which can classify and distinguish various tea flavours .This setup costs far less than a commercial E-Nose setup while the performance is fairly comparable with commercial systems. This is the first indigenously developed E-nose setup in the country as claimed by the team.
Significant contribution is reflected in his challenge to develop an E-Nose setup of comparable capacity to a commercially imported setup costing to the tune of USD 50,000. Apart from opening up a new area of electronic tea tasting, the researchers and students of this university and the region are motivated and exposed to this new and emerging technology by this setup
Tea color matching:
Moreover a computerized colour matching technique for tea fermentation has also been developed and the trial run was successfully conducted at Noor-bari Tea Estate, Tezpur Assam.
The research conducted by him on application of Electronics in tea industry for increasing efficiency and productivity resulted two inventions of commercial importance:
Patents:
a) A three level temperature indicator for tea dryer. [Patent obtained vide: Patent No 203816, Dated. 09-03]
b) A microwave based tea dryer. [Vide Indian patent File No.39/CAL/2001 Dated. 23/01/2001]
Ph D Guided:

Contribution to Technical education:
i) While working in Jorhat Engineering College, during 1993-94 ,he played the key role in starting ,for the first time in Assam ,the discipline of BE in Instrumentation Engg. as the Co-coordinator. He initiated the collaboration for this course with Dept. of Electrical Engg.,IIT Kharagpur. He developed the Instrumentation laboratory with a Central Govt. funding of Rs 20.00 Lakh during 1985-90. He organized to frame the course and acted as the founder HoD of the Instrumentation branch. This is a remarkable contribution towards the growth of Technical Education in Assam.
ii) He is trying to popularize Scientific temperament among local public and children. He authored an Assamese book "Chahar Katha" on tea industry and tea manufacturing for school children published in 2000. Over 30 scientific, technical and social reports/ articles authored by him have been published in local regional magazines and newspapers.
Achievements of academic and social importance:
i) Enlisted his Bio-data in Marquis Who's Who in the World 2007 for his contribtion to the scientific and academic field, published by Marquis Who's Who LLC, USA (a non paid publisher)
ii) Invited by Dept. of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, University of Warwick UK for a Technical Discussion for exploring Tea Tasting by E-Nose in Sept 2002.- Students and researchers are benefited by this discussion on technology .
iii) Implemented a project "Computerised Braille Transcription system for the Blind Schools of Assam"- Rs 46.00 Lakh funded by Ministry of IT, Govt of India in 2001-02 - A socially acclaimed project. He co-ordinated conduction of computerized brailley transcription training in 5 nos of Blind Schools of Assam.
iv) Implemented a joint split site PhD programme between Tezpur University and University of Warwick, UK : one of his PhD student received commonwealth scholarship to do 1-year PhD work in University of Warwick, UK.
v) He made Considerable effort for the growth of the Digital Library of Tezpur University Library as the Prof. In-charge during 2002-2005
vi) Being a life member of Biosensor Society of India, CFTIR, Mysore and based on his activities, BSI have permitted him to open the North East chapter of BSI at Tezpur University. He is the founder of the NE section of BSI.
vii) He is an IEEE, Industry Application Society (University of Illinois, USA) Journal paper reviewer- 1995-1996
