Project Trainee

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)•  June 2011 - August 2011

Project Topic: "Study on various image data compression algorithms for space applications" Implementation Platform: C with CCSDS (for DWT) and TCL & TK Toolkit (for front-end screen) The project has provided a great opportunity to learn image compression standards and real-time application-based satellite image data compression algorithms for space applications.

IIT, Bombay (Indian Institute of Technology)

Biophysics and Computational Biology, PhD•  July 2015 - Present

Currently, in Ph.D. I am working on computational studies of interactions of various potential anti-cancer drugs with cancer drug-resistant tubulin isotypes. In addition, I am also studying the dynamics of microtubules and their regulation, under the guidance of Prof. Ambarish Kunwar and Prof. Dulal Panda at IIT Bombay.

IIIT, Jabalpur (PDPM Indian Institute of Information Technology Design & Manufacturing)

Electronics and Communication - Biomedical Signal Processing, M.Tech•  July 2013 - June 2015

In MTech, I worked on the classification of biomedical signals (EEG) using various time-frequency analysis techniques e.g. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and smoothed pseudo wigner ville distribution (SPWVD), etc. with several unsupervised and supervised learning techniques e.g. K-means, Fuzzy c-means, neural networks and LS-SVM, under the guidance of Prof. Varun Bajaj and Prof. Anil Kumar at IIITDM Jabalpur.

Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram

Computational Biology, PhD•  July 2008 - May 2012

Previously in B.Tech, I have worked on image data compression using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), during an internship at ISAC, Bangalore. I have implemented some small projects in the field of image processing e.g. image watermarking, noise reduction by fuzzy filtering, image resizing using Bessel transform, etc. I have also worked on content-based video segmentation in which I learned appropriate methods for shot boundary detection, selection of appropriate features, and some unsupervised machine learning techniques like Fuzzy c-means and K-means clustering algorithms in B.Tech final year project, under the guidance of Prof. Deepak Mishra at IIST, Thiruvananthapuram.
