EXPERIENCE
 

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

bullet

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

bullet

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.

bullet

Got better results than the previous algorithm proposed by L. Rodek.

bullet

Code base is C/C++

bullet

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

bullet

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.

bullet

C++ code base with extensive use of templates.

bullet

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
bullet

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.

bullet

Algorithm designed was based on the parallel version of Pipesort algorithm.

bullet

The thesis was declared to be outstanding
