MAJOR PROJECTS

Inferring Mobile QoE in using Machine Learning Techniques – Estimated quality of experience for mobile apps using network traces only (EECS 589: Advanced Computer Networks, Fall 2015) Efficient execution of MapReduce applications on irregular NoC topology – Designed a technique that allows performant MapReduce applications’ execution despite permanent faults in NoC (EECS 578: Correct Operation for Processors and Embedded Systems, Fall 2015) TDM-based secure NoC with improved bandwidth – D esigned a secure NoC using BookSim simulator that has significant improvement in performance over traditional TDM- based networks (EECS 573: Microarchitecture, Fall 2014)

P6-style 3-way superscalar processor – D esigned a P6-style 3- way superscalar, out-of-order processor for Alpha-64 IS using SystemVerilog ( EECS 470: Computer Architecture, Fall 2014) Drobosim – Created a disk simulator in Java that emulates BeyondRAID technology to evaluate reliability and performance features of a wide range of disk configurations ( ECEG 6514: Fault Tolerant Computing, Spring 2013)

Real-time Cartoonifier on FPGA platform – Built an accelerated video cartoonifier using Verilog on an Altera DE-2 FPGA board to transform a live video input from a digital camera and cartoonify (alter into a cartoon-like display) it. ( ECEG 5502: BSc Thesis, S pring 2011) Cursor control using facial features and expression input – Developed a software application in C++ that enables the control of a computer cursor by monitoring a person’s eye movement through a webcam. The feature extractions and analysis from a continuous video stream were done using library of functions called OpenCV. ( ECEG 4508: Senior Year Project, Winter 2010) AWARDS
