WORK EXPERIENCE:

Working in India’s most prestigious Government Research and Development Institute on Computing,

C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) in the group- Graphic and Intelligence

based Script Technology

Currently working on computer vision and recognition in Optical Character Recognition for

native languages (Indian)

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

1) Project Title: Controlling a Robot using non-invasive Brain Computer Interface and its machine

learning (At CDAC)

Project Description: Designed and developed a real time system to control an Arduino robot using a

non-invasive Brain computer interface system which utilizes computationally inexpensive feature

extraction and classification techniques with the use of a Support Vector Machine classifier (machine

learning algorithm) to map the features to a class as a prototype for those suffering from ALS and

Brain Stem stroke disease (neurological disorders).

2) Project Title: Special Projection Interfacing Device for Enhanced Routing- S.P.I.D.E.R.

Project Description: Developed a system to simplify directions to the destination on a small part of the

screen of a car’s wind shield by displaying navigational directions after processing them on MATLAB

with the use of a mini inexpensive projector by porting on a CUDA compiler to increase safety of on

road drivers.

3) Project Title: Co-relation between spectrum allocation and spectrum sensing for cognitive radio

networks- a theoretical study

Project Description: Developed a relation between parameters of linear cooperative spectrum sensing

and spectrum allocation in cognitive radio networks based on mathematical modelling.
