Academic Project Work
Twitter Data Analysis using Hadoop in Java
Manipulated Twitter data (extracted by twitter4j) to analyze trends using Map-Reduce algorithm on HDFS (Hadoop 2.2).
Web community for a university (Campus Information Network) http://cse442team12.wix.com/team12
Designed a web based application to present pre-existing university event information in a consolidated map and calendar based
interface with the ability to collect information for registered students for informal social, informative & educational events.
Flight Data Analysis in R
Analyzed flight data to get trends such as busiest months, carrier percentage etc. that can be used for airport capacity planning.
Face Recognition Application in Java
Developed an AI based application using Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces algorithms to assess facial location and expressions by
training and testing the algorithm from pixel data collected by multiple similar images.
Simple Web Server
Developed a simple web server in C which binds to a port to a socket so that it can handle multiple HTTP/1.0 requests efficiently
using multithreading and can be configured for FCFS and SJF scheduling.
