PROJECTS

MS Thesis: Vehicle- Highway Automation and Intelligent Highway System, Kansas State University

• Developed a research project for automating highways which involves intelligent highway system, vehicle automation, collision avoidance system, intelligent vehicle control system, route guidance, highway information system, vehicle tracking, traffic surveillance, probe vehicles, decision support system, image processing, intelligent wireless sensor network.

• C/C++, nesC, Java, Embedded C, MySql, Perl, Phython were used to develop.

Training using Back Propagation Networks for Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), India

• Worked on a research project related to Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) which deals with devising a new method to parallelize the Back Propagation Algorithm (BPN). The method involves developing master-slave architecture to perform parallel operations on a group of computers. This method has proved efficient in reducing the total time taken for computations and has also shown more accuracy when tested with huge data sets. (Accepted in IEEE).

• Linux, C/C++, Socket and MPI Programming, Cluster Computing was used to develop.

GUI used for Controlling and Simulating Robots for CIS, Kansas State University

• Using Java developed GUI by which robot can be controlled simulated & display values of the sensor and image.

Hyderabad Map for Yash Technologies, India

• Used PHP, Perl-CGI, and MySql to design a prototype website using a Hyderabad city map with path tracing algorithm. This enabled direction search from one point to another using various graphical mapping techniques.

ISA Websites for Indian Students Association at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas.

• Website manages all the members’ activities, information, forum and their events using JSP, MySQL, HTML, CSS.

AWARDS, ACHIEVEMENTS & ACTIVITIES
