Bose works in the area of secure communications and the Virtual Labs (India). He is a recipient of Vikram Sarabhai Research Award.
== Early Life and Education ==
Bose obtained his B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT), Kanpur, India in 1992 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA in 1993 and 1995.
== Career ==
Bose worked at Alliance Semiconductor Inc., San Jose, CA, as a Senior Design Engineer from 1996 to 1997. Since November 1997 he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Delhi, where he was the Microsoft Chair Professor. He has also served as the Head of Bharti School of Telecom Technology and Management and as the founding Head of 'Center of Excellence' in Cyber Systems and Information Assurance (CoE-CSIA) at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. His lectures on wireless communications form a part of the video courses offered by the National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). He is also the national coordinator for the Mission Project on Virtual Labs, which enables students all over India to perform simulation-based lab experiments remotely. He has held guest scientist positions at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, University of Colorado , Boulder, USA, UNIK, Norway and University of Maryland, Baltimore County|University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA. He also wrote book titled "Information Theory, Coding and Cryptography (3rd Ed.)". Which has been translated into Chinese and Korean.

== Major Professional Contributions ==
Bose has made contributions in the area of Secure Communications. He has proposed a technique for combining compression and encryption using variable model arithmetic coding. He has also contributed in the area of secure communication using concepts of physical layer security for wireless communication systems. His research addresses the problem of wireless communication security over relayed networks, often with untrusted relays and in the presence of eavesdroppers.
Bose has invented the concept of ‘Sequence CLEAN’ which results in an improved performance of the deconvolution algorithm CLEAN, even in the presence of closely-spaced targets. This work impacts early breast cancer detection, next-generation radar, air-traffic control and through-wall imaging. Bose has also proposed the concept of 'Superinformation', which is a measure of the ‘entropy of entropy’ (randomness of randomness). 'Superinformation' has been found to be very efficient in segregating coding/non-coding regions of the DNA, as well as, predicting the behavior of stock-markets.
Bose has written a book titled Information Theory, Coding and Cryptography,3rd Ed. (McGraw Hill). The book, which has an International Edition, has also been translated into Chinese and Korean. Bose has developed a video course on Wireless Communication, under National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and a MOOCs on Coding Theory . Bose has served in several advisory roles, including as a member of the Lab Research Council (LRC) of DRDO, Security Advisory Board of Goods and Services Tax (India)|GSTN, Domain expert for NATGRID, Member of Jawaharlal Nehru University|JNU Academic Committee, Member of the National Implementation and Monitoring committee for MOOCs, Editor-in-Chief of IETE Journal of Education, Editorial Boards of Computers & Security and IEEE Access.
== Virtual Labs Project ==
Bose is the National Coordinator of the Mission Project on Virtual Labs, currently being used in over 850 colleges across India. The Virtual Labs project addresses the issue of lack of good lab facilities, as well as trained teachers, in many engineering colleges across India. It provides access to simulation-based experiments, thereby allowing student-centric learning which is available anywhere, anytime.
