Sutanu Bhattacharya joined Florida Poly as an assistant professor in the Department
of Computer Science in 2021. Before joining Florida poly, he was a graduate teaching
and research assistant at Auburn University (2017-21). He earned his Ph.D. in computer
science and software engineering from Auburn University under the supervision of Dr.
Debswapna Bhattacharya. He also worked as an assistant professor in the Department
of Computer Science at Chaibasa Engineering College, India (2014-17).
