Engineer, Foodie, Idea generator, Student, Technologist

A Researcher, Tech Enthusiast and Translator! I am an HPC Engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and a passionate TED translator. As a TED Translator, I transcribe chiefly in the languages- English and Bengali (my native Indian dialect). Currently I am involved in spreading awareness about open-source translation tools and making such mechanisms easily accessible to translators globally. Like all other people in the TED community, I strive to make technology and knowledge readily available to a certain congregation in our world where language can be a key barrier. I employ the concoction of articulation so that 'science' may ease its way into people's minds and tickle their intellect. Furthermore, I am fiercely inclined towards causes such as promulgating diversity and equality.

Helping to make information easily and equally accessible to all sections of society universally

My TED story started when I was an undergraduate student in India. I stumbled upon an exciting video link shared in Facebook by a friend. This was a TED video- so engaging, that it initiated me to follow the TED community. Videos after videos-I browsed through an ocean of possibilities: myths debunked, fears conquered, phosphorescent ideas molded into fiery truths, so on and so forth. A few years down the line, I believed I was capable enough to contribute my language skills which I had acquired passionately over many years, to the TED community. Soon afterwards, I started off as a TED translator!
