Graduate Student Researcher, CyLab, CMU, Pittsburgh, PA
Jan 2009 - Present
Data Hiding and Steganography
Observed and exploited redundancy in the sign of DCT coefficients for data
hiding in images
Studied LSB and SSS Image Steganography and proposed to combine the above
techniques
Proposed data hiding in DCT coefficients for robustness to channel attacks
Iris-Codes Class Separation Using Error Correcting Codes
Applied Error-correcting codes to optimize for intra and inter-class
hamming distance separation
Academic Soft Biometrics: Gender, Eyewear, Headgear Classification using SVM
Projects Got introduced to very large databases. Extracted relevant feature points
from frontal face images
Applied SVM classifier to develop a multi-class Headgear and Eye-glasses
Classifier
Gender classification using beard and moustache image parts, 94%
classification accuracy

Designed Convertors/Segregators to decrypt data for a Newgen report
management system
Dynamic Storage Allocator
Programmed a Segregated free-list Allocator using First-fit Allocation
method
Buffer Overflow Attack
Stack organization and IA-32 calling to launch butter overflow attack
Web Proxy Server supporting Caching and Concurrency
Designed a web proxy server supporting GET method, caching with LRU
replacement and threading
Unix Shell with Job Control and Signal Handlers
Designed a shell program with job control, error-handling, I/O redirection
Web Crawler
Designed a Java based web crawler to extract queried product information
from nextag.com
Image Segmentation using Normalized Histogram, Background Modeling and
Mean-Shift Clustering
Used discriminative training, k-means clustering for different colors and
sizes of apples
Mean-shift grouping to group multiple detections and locate and count
apples in a video of an orchard.
Book Store Management
Developed a Book Store Management using DBMS as back-end, and Visual Basic
as front-end.
