Academic Projects and Presentations

Solving Pure IP Problems applied to Apple iPod

University of New Haven, CT

Oct. 2008 - Nov.2008

This research demonstrates the application of the branch-

and-bound technique to a pure integer programming (IP) problem

for real time data of the iPod . I used two models 8-gigabyte (GB)

iPod Nano and 32 GB iPod Touch . My main focus was on Gross profit

margin and Operating Expenses which include labor,

marketing, and research and development (R&D) costs. I

used Branch and bound technique and Forecast error from Operational

Research to reduce errors in inventory estimation, reduce

inventory costs and improve delivery to customers using real

time data provided in the Apple Inc.'s Annual Report for fiscal year

2008.

Life cycle cost analysis on Gas v/s Hybrid in cars

University of New Haven, CT

May. 2008 - June.2008

This paper involves in comparison between two vehicles

Honda Civic Hybrid and Honda Civic Gas which was

modeled for analysis. I did life cycle assessment for 10 years by

comparing both the model. I used spreadsheet which included

Lean concept and Supply chain management.

Multimodal Biometric Identification System

Atria Institute of Technology, India

April. 2006 - Jun.2006

This paper presents a system called BioID. The system

acquires (records), preprocesses, and classifies each

biometric feature separately. I reviewed papers written by many authors

and made complete survey of the working of this concept and

analyzed higher the security level, higher would be false-

rejection rate. I used Multimodal Identification concept where BioID

guarantees a high degree of security from falsification and

unauthorized access.

Generation and Controlling of Plasma Arc Radiation

Indian Institute of Science, India

Sep. 2006 - Mar.2007

This Project involves in creating a potential difference

between cathode-anode terminals of plasma arc generator by

controlling the input voltage. I designed a circuit board by making use of

PIC 16f876/77 microcontroller as front end and device

programmer such as MPLAB IDE and IC PROG as a back end for

controlling the firing angle, phase, amplitude of power device making the

plasma cartridge to trigger at specified time.
