Ashraf Alam
I am proud to have been recognized as one of Stanford/Elsevier's Top 2% Scientists of the World, a rare distinction that reflects my commitment to advancing knowledge in my field. Currently, I am associated with IIT Kharagpur. In October 2021, I was honored with the "Emerging Researcher of the Year" award during the "Education Icon Awards," a prestigious initiative by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), Government of India.

Throughout my career, I have published over 100 research papers in reputed international journals, all of which are indexed in SCOPUS and/or Web of Science. These publications, many of which have appeared in renowned platforms like Taylor and Francis, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Emerald, IEEE, and Sage, reflect the diversity and depth of my research interests. In addition, I have been fortunate to share my work through invited talks and presentations at more than 120 national and international conferences and seminars.
