Awards and Honors:

Awarded gold medal for competence in UG.

Research Experience:

The following research was done at Defense Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad under the guidance of esteemed scientists:

Master’s Thesis: The thesis is titled ‘Single View based Motion Analysis in High speed imaging Applications’. It deals with the ability to get the motion parameters (distance, velocity and trajectory) of a flying object from the video input alone to a best approximation. A single image frame based technique is used to filter and predict the measurements using MATLAB.

Bachelor’s project overview: The self proposed project, “Blivision” aimed at developing a navigation aid for the visually challenged. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, the project has been successfully tested to recognize hand written sign posts and identify the person standing before. The MATLAB processing results were fed to the blind person as audio input through the headphones, thereby guiding the way.

Technical qualifications:

Programming in C, Python and MATLAB, working knowledge on VLSI design.

Research interests:

Machine Learning, Cryptography, and Integrated Circuits design.

University services:

Had served as Teaching Assistant for Advanced Microprocessor Based Systems taught by Partha Sarathi Dey, Computer Science and Engineering, Spring 2017-18.

Publications and Presentations:

  • Published a paper titled “Single View based Motion Analysis in High Speed Imaging Applications: A theoretical Framework” , based on Masters Project in International Journal for Scientific Research & Development (IJSRD), Vol.4, Issue 10, 2016, pp 387-392.
  • Presented hypotheses at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS)-Pilani, Rajasthan in “APOGEE 2012” and National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal in ‘TECHNOZION X 2010”.
