Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India
Project Fellow Prof. Aditya K. Jagannatham, Multimedia Wireless Networks Lab, IIT Kanpur, India
Performed extensive work in morphological image processing, aliasing, transform coding, 2D sampling and interpolation.
Formal introduction to image and video codecs( encoder-decoder).
Developed a JPEG image decoder suitable for all kinds of images.
COLLABORATIONS
Jan, 2011 Present
Prof. Jiawei Han (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
(Collaborate with Yizhou Sun, PhD Student, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Studied clustering in heterogeneous information networks.
Work involves concurrent clustering and ranking of objects in a general multi-typed heterogeneous network schema.
Co-developed a novel algorithm to understand the hidden structures of the network and the individual role of every object in each cluster .
INTERNSHIPS
Jun, 2009 Jul, 2009
Teracom Limited, Noida, India
Student Trainee (worked in a team of two)
Demonstrated that linear transmitters using non-linear power amplifiers operate with high linearity and efficiency.
Maximized power reduction in mobile systems using class D and E amplifiers.
Proved that RPE-LPC based GSM system shows no perceptible difference in the voice quality over old public telephone networks.
Jun, 2008 Jul, 2008
Steria India Limited, Noida, India
Student Trainee
Investigated the database schema of British Telecom.
Involved in melioration of existing database for newly announced schemes by British Telecom for its customers.
Assisted in development of a query execution plan (QEP).
Development of QEP involved manual examination, followed by tuning of the query plan to obtain superior query performance.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
B.E. Major Project, Shop n Drop Shopping Website Dr. Varun Kumar, HOD, CSE Department, ITM, Gurgaon, India (Advisor)
Designed a website mimicking shopping mall environment using ASP .NET, SQL, HTML and JavaScript (worked in a team of three).
Employed cost-based query optimizers to retrieve instant query results.
Integrated a recommender system, using K-nearest neighbor algorithm, to efficiently deliver items of interest to user.
Increased dynamicity of the web pages, using ASP and recommender system, based on visitor s preferences.
Third year project, File Splitter Mrs. Jyotsna Singh, Assistant Professor, ITM, Gurgaon, India (Advisor)
Developed a file splitting software using C#/.NET technology.
The software splits a huge file into smaller manageable segments which are later combined to deliver the original file.
Solved the problem of upper limit on amount of data that can be uploaded .
For several file formats, the split files act as i ndependent functional entities and can also be used in segregated state.
Second year project, Online Customer Care Services of a Telecom Company Prachi Pathak, Steria India Ltd, Noida, India (Advisor)
Developed a website using ASP, SQL, HTML and JavaScript.
Designed the database schema to optimize database indexing and query performance. Database updates obeyed ACID properties.
Created frontend using HTML, JavaScript and MS Frontpage. SQL tables constituted the backend.
Validated client side information using JavaScript. ASP scripts invoked pertinent SQL queries to update the database.
