EXPERIENCE:

Graduate Research Assistant, WINLAB, Rutgers University (07/01/2003 – present)

  • Video multicast over WLANs: Conducting research on ways to improve the service quality and capacity of a video streaming application over WLAN using MAC multicast and error control techniques.
  • Network Tomography: Conducted research on ways to estimate link loss probabilities in a wired network from end to end traffic measurements in a subset of the links of the network.

Teaching Assistant, Department of Electrical Engineering, Rutgers University (09/01/2002 – 06/30/2003) 

  • Involved in teaching the undergraduate courses ‘Probability and Stochastic Processes’ in Fall 2002 and ‘Principles of Electrical Engineering II Laboratory’ in Spring 2003 in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Rutgers University.

Consultant, PricewaterhouseCoopers, India (07/03/2000-07/15/2002)

  • Developed and tested software in Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL Server and Developer 2000 and took part in on-site client implementation of the same.

 

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Parallel and Distributed Computing, Fall 2003

  • Implemented image histogramming and connected components labeling in parallel using divide and conquer techniques and a new merging algorithm in C using MPI and threads.

Information and Network Security, Spring 2003

  • Implemented secure client server communication in Java using DES algorithm where clients join and leave a multicast group and can decrypt data as long as they are subscribed to the multicast group.

Communication Networks II, Spring 2003

  • Designed and performed cost analysis of a rapid deployment emergency infrastructure for a disaster site with multiple types of emergency personnel.

Communication Theory, Spring 2003

  • Analyzed and compared the performance of several existing downlink power control algorithms in CDMA systems and proposed an improvement over an existing algorithm.

Communication Networks I, Fall 2002

  • Developed traffic management and QoS control schemes using a proposed priority based channel access scheme for different classes of traffic for a CSMA/CA network in access point mode with Poisson and CBR traffic.

Stochastic Signals and Systems, Fall 2002

  • Hypothesis testing and its role in a communication system

 

 

UNDERGRADUATE PROJECTS:

1.  Study of Spread Spectrum Modulation Techniques, its ability to reject interference, Direct Sequence and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum, CDMA and Code Synchronization.

2. Development of an imaging utility using Visual Basic implementing a number of image filtering and enhancement algorithms.

3.  Determination of unknown capacitance in a LM555 Timer based circuit where the output time is equal to the magnitude of the capacitance in microfarad in Pspice.

4.  Development of a Computer Adaptive Test taking software implementing the concept of in-built Expert system.

5. Design of a 66 KV Substation with Main and Transfer Bus arrangements for the Indian Farmers’ Fertilizer Co-operative Limited.
