About

Pratyush Kumar is a researcher at the forefront of industrial safety and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, with a focused expertise in developing intelligent monitoring systems for hazardous environments. His most-cited work, "IoT Based Coal Mine Safety Monitoring and Alerting System" (2022, 11 citations), addresses a critical gap in mining safety: the lack of early warning mechanisms for accidents caused by firedamp, residue blasts, and other environmental hazards. Kumar’s major contribution lies in designing a real-time, sensor-driven alerting framework that can detect dangerous gas levels and structural risks, potentially saving the lives of skilled workers and labourers who face frequent workplace injuries and fatalities in the mining industry. By integrating IoT connectivity with safety protocols, his research offers a scalable, low-cost solution for continuous monitoring, moving beyond reactive measures to proactive hazard prevention. This work underscores his commitment to applying technology for social impact, particularly in high-risk sectors where traditional safety systems have proven insufficient. Kumar’s achievements highlight a promising trajectory in applied IoT research, with his citation count reflecting growing recognition among safety engineers and industrial technologists.
