Have a healthy disregard for impossible.

I am Pushpak Das, a Senior Research Fellow and PhD candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Meghalaya, focusing on energy-efficient computing for sustainable smart cities. My work integrates AI, edge computing, and green ICT to build low-power algorithms for intelligent urban infrastructure; recent efforts span AI-driven resource orchestration, V2X communication frameworks, and vehicular-edge networks.

Across roles in industry and academia I have shipped Salesforce and REST integrations, taught Java, networks, and security, and led simulations and cloud projects funded by national research boards. At Nokia (Jan-Jul 2024) I advanced energy-efficient V2X communication systems, and at NIT Meghalaya I contributed to PMU data analytics for smart grids and vehicular network simulations using SUMO, OMNeT++, and VEINS.

I am currently pursuing research on intelligent and sustainable computing, mentoring students, and exploring AI for traffic management, energy optimization, and human-centered computing. I enjoy building with Python, MATLAB, AWS ML tools, and Apex/JavaScript for applied machine learning, and I stay curious about information security, Linux, Docker, and the evolving Internet of Things. An upcoming publication on hybrid approaches for deadline-sensitive tasks in fog computing reflects this applied research focus.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
