RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

? Wireless Networking and Systems (

WINGS) Lab, Stony Brook UniversitySummer 2012 -

presentResearch Assistantship, Advisor: Samir Das

- Implemented a system involving a custom access point that regulates (in terms of

bandwidth, delay, loss) downlink data to

smartphones and studied the behavior of several benchmark android applications for an

acceptable user QoE and the minimal

network service requirement for that.

- Currently I am employing machine learning and optimization techniques to learn the

network requirements of an application

and allocate it the most suitable one dynamically, which improves overall utilization in

terms of energy and dollar costs.

? Simulation and Modeling Group,

Universitat Hannover, Germany Summer 2010

Research Internship (DAAD WISE Scholarship, 2010), Advisor: Helena Szczerbicka

- Worked on developing an Artificial Immune System (AIS) based algorithm for Anomaly /

Misbehavior Detection in wireless

sensor networks.

- Implemented the above in a micaZ testbed on TinyOS software platform and analyzed the

efficiency of the algorithm.

? School of Information Technology, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur Summer 2009

Research Internship, Advisor: Soumya K. Ghosh

- Developed a realistic mathematical model for predicting the lifetime of a sensor

network, so that it could be applied

practically to predict the longevity of a given network. (Paper accepted in IEEE

Globecom'12 workshop).

SPAM: A Framework for Social Profile Abuse Monitoring Spring'12

? Platform: Java, Twitter Rest APIs, Weka Tool (for machine learning, evaluation and

analysis)

? Built an abuse monitoring tool for online social networks, where regular users are

warned for possible threats before connecting to

another user and a score for their friendship is recommended. It was tested and evaluated

on the Twitter platform. [ Course Project

Network Security ] [Code: https://github.com/ayonchakraborty/TwitterPrivacyProtection ]

Improving End-to-End Routing in the Internet Spring'12

? Platform: Python, MATLAB

? Analyzed the latency improvement in overlay networks over default Internet routing

paths, and effects of BGP policies in Internet

routing. We used real Internet trace data for the analysis. [Course Project

An Experimental Study of Jamming IEEE 802.15.4 compliant Sensor Networks Fall'11

? Platform and Hardware: TinyOS-2.x software, TelosB motes equipped with CC2420 radio

? Presented an experimental study of jamming a sensor network by introducing

interference. [Course Project: Wireless and Mobile

networking]

Design of adaptive middleware framework for pervasive environments Mar'09 Dec'10

? Platform: J2ME

? Design and Development of an adaptive, context-aware middleware for pervasive

environments primarily targeted for the health-

care domain. [Undergraduate Project]

Data gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks Dec'08 Dec'10

? Platform: TinyOS-2.x, TOSSIM, MATLAB, Java

? I tried to improve upon the existing data gathering schemes in Wireless Sensor

Networks, by optimizing various resource usages in

the sensor nodes. I focused on the routing algorithms, optimization of energy usage and

delay and improvement of network

lifetime. [Undergraduate Project]
