I believe academic Biodata, Resume or CV are a maze of academic collections, phases or journey. Or better words, I came to know after watching so many Professional Profiles, CV or resume or the new word, Academic Portfolio?
My Academic Journey:
Formal Education: Ph.D Molecular Biology, 2008
Initial Years of Teaching and Research: 2008 - 2012
Surveillance uses and abuses, curiosity and impact: 2012 - 2017
Left job as an Assistant Professor in 2017, but called back by the University.
Joining Back and strange files collections: 2017- 2021
Some of those file collections became case studies and public in the form of Campus Crime Series. These were first case studies of coded system learning.
I struggled up to campus crime series like finding a needle in haystack. This needle acted as a template in understanding Social Tales of Social Engineering and their impact on living beings, especially humans. It's like world is a media culture lab and I am reporting and writing direct from war zone. The already chocked life, chocked a bit more amid health issues and not having even basic facilities. Yes, I have health issues but not the kind of some people are trying to impose, by ill will agenda. These are attacks, due to different political parties crimes exposures.
Media Culture Lab: 2021-Continue
This experiential learning and writing gave the idea of Media Culture Lab's Impact and Designing and Engineering of Society by making human robots even without their knowledge, forget consent. I named that Human Robotics.
Silo System (University) to Society: Both have different culture media, especially villages in India.
I was back to village after 27 years in 2022 after that enforced resignation due to safety reasons. A strange kind of illegal jail and for me, it is like some war field type reporting and research under literal ugly, scarce and harsh conditions. Created by? Seems created by own people but invisible political forces are at work in this creation. Invisible, but still visible.
