Guest PhD Student, Risø National Laboratory,
Denmark |
March 2007 - Present |
| Visiting
Scientist, Risø National Laboratory, Denmark |
August 2006 - November 2006 |
| Visiting
Research Scholar, CUNY Graduate Center, NY, USA |
June 2005 - July 2006 |
|
CUNY
Graduate Center, NY, USA & Risø National
Laboratory, Denmark
 |
Working on a collaborative research project which
is part of a scientific program called “Total Cryst” (http://www.totalcryst.dk/).
The aim is to reconstruct the 2D orientation map of a polycrystals (like
metals) from its X-ray diffraction projection data. Knowledge of
orientation map is of interest to material scientists since the physical
and chemical properties of a polycrystal are related to its orientation
map.s |
 |
Achieved an improvement
in the speed of convergence of the previous algorithm by reducing the
randomness of each iterative step. Thus each iteration is costly but the
total number of iterations had reduced significantly thereby reducing the
time to converge to the final solution. |
 |
Got better results than
the previous algorithm proposed by L. Rodek. |
 |
Code base
is C/C++ |
 |
The research paper will
be submitted soon. |
|
|
Intern
in R&D Team of Advanced Graphics Division |
January 2005 - April
2005 |
|
Silicon
Graphics Inc., Gurgaon, India
 |
Worked on
the open source project ITK (www.itk.org) with an aim to improve its
performance on the 64-bit-Multiprocessor IRIX machines of SGI for DICOM
volume segmentation. |
 |
C++ code
base with extensive use of templates. |
 |
Optimized
the Geodesic-Active-Contours filter so that its performance can be scaled
with increasing the number of processors. |
|
|
MASTERS DISSERTATION |
| |
Cluster Computing in Data Mining
 |
Computation of data cube operator for a database table in cluster
computing environment by designing an efficient load balancing algorithm
after properly selecting the views to be materialized. |
 |
Algorithm
designed was based on the parallel version of Pipesort algorithm. |
 |
The
thesis was declared to be outstanding |

ACADEMIC PROJECTS |
| |
OMR Form Processing
 | Designed and implemented software which takes a scanned image of an
OMR form and outputs the data from that form based on the marks filled in.
|
 | Outstanding Performance, Awarded A grade |
Optical Character Recognition
 | Comparative study and implementation of various OCR algorithms |
 | Mainly algorithms with template matching and feature vector |
Cache Memory Simulation
 | Software with a nice GUI, which aims at determining the optimal cache
parameters (set size and block size) given the cache and main memory size.
It was designed in Java using swings. |
Real Time Simulation of Railway Track and Signaling System
 | GUI to give stations and paths between them including facility for
making timetable and verification of timetable so as to make sure that no
accidents occur. |
 | Real time simulation of the system and GUI to show the
trains(implemented as Java threads) |
 | Outstanding performance, awarded A grade |
Study and Implementation of Data Link Protocols
 | Studied various data link protocols and implemented 1 bit sliding
window protocol |
Study and Implementation of Key Management Protocols
 | Studied various key management protocols and implemented
Diffie-Hellman protocol for both bi party as well as multi party. |
 | Designed a library to handle large numbers (e.g. 500 digits) since all
cryptographic numbers are large. |
 | Outstanding Performance, awarded A grade |
Design of 3D Models using Polygon Mesh Model
 | Implemented subdivision algorithm to make a spherical objects. |
 | Implemented some primitive scan converting algorithms and polygon mesh
model to represent 3d models. |
 | Solidification and hidden surface removal to get the solid object and
then texture mapping to get a realistic model. |
 | Outstanding performance, awarded A grade |
|
