Research Interests

Graph Drawing and Information Visualization,

Graph Theory, Geometric Algorithms, Computer Networks.

Refereed Conference Publications

Languages and Tools

Languages: Java, C, C++, Python, Unix Shell Scripting, Matlab, OpenGL, MPI.

Tools: GraphViz, WinMips64, Simple Scalar Simulator, PSPICE, USLOSS.

Projects

Implemented an operating system using USLOSS with low level CPU scheduling, process syn-

chronization and interrupt handler synchronization, inter-process communication

primitives,

disk drivers, terminal drivers and virtual memory management.

Compression of an image using sub-band coding. A Modified EZW algorithm was applied to

compress the image. The whole project was implemented in MATLAB (Selected as the best

undergraduate final year project.)

Texture analysis and classification with Tree-structured Wavelet Transform. Used feature

selection algorithm to find the best features for classification. The project was

implemented

in MATLAB.

Distributed Distance Vector Routing Algorithm Implementation. The system was imple-

mented in a computer cluster, with each node acting as a router. Distributed Devs Java

was

used to manage the message passing.

Autonomic load balancing in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 based Cluster. Implemented

receiver-initiated and sender-initiated load balancing in an eight-core cluster using MPI

and

C.

Implementation of a parser for C{, a subset of the C programming language. Reads a pro-

gram according to the lexical conventions of the language, checks syntax rules, and

reports

lexical/syntax errors.
