Internships and Research

Microsoft Research, Redmond
Summer 2014
Real Time Object Tracking in a Dynamic Environment
Eyal Ofek, Senior Researcher
Formulated real time tracking of a hand held device in a 3D space using kinect; recovered the position and
orientation of the device based on random sample consensus for parameter estimation
Ensured robustness of the system through integration with optical flow and orientation sensor measurements and
implemented on RoomAlive, a product of Microsoft Game Studios
Undergraduate Thesis, IIT Bombay
Ongoing
Dictionary Learning for Sparse Image Modelling and Analysis
Prof. Suyash Awate
Exploring and implementing algorithms for dictionary learning formulated as sparse-regression/L1-optimization
problems in Euclidean or non Euclidean spaces
Working on applications of sparse coding using the learned dictionary for image analysis
Technical University, Braunschweig, Germany
Summer 2013
Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Nodes
Prof. Lars Wolf
Designed and implemented a self learning and adaptive algorithm to undervolt the main micro-controller of wireless
sensor node for improving energy efficiency
Formulated an Inter Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocol based on closed loop control with a secure and reliable
instance in order to achieve a balanced state between faultless execution and optimum power dissipation

Academic Projects
Cost Metric in Query Optimization | Relational Databases, Prof. S. Sudarshan
Ongoing
Improving the efficiency of the cost metric in query optimizer to achieve resourceful plan for execution
Enhancing query processing in PyroJ based on information about number of table and index accesses, block
reads/writes collected using the Statistics Collector of PostgreSQL
Texture Classification using Textons | Digital Image Processing, Prof. Ajit Rajwade
Autumn 2014
Implemented framework for characterising a texture by its responses to a set of orientation and spatial-frequency
selective linear filters, clustered these responses into a bunch of textons and modelled using SVM
Explored the application of texture classification in image categorization and segmentation
Integrated Network for Customers and Vendors | Databases, Prof. Umesh Bellur
Autumn 2013
Developed an online service platform to collate services offered in market catalogued on the type of service and
location using PHP and MySQL
Incorporated features to book/cancel appointments pertaining to desired services, provide a recommendation system linked to trust, address common customers queries and facilitate communication among participants

Virtual Memory Implementation | Operating Systems, Prof. Dhananjay Damdhere

Autumn 2013
Added virtual memory manager to Pranali, an experimental OS built on top of Linux
Implemented modules for handling process memory allocation, swap space management, page replacement strategies and improving virtual address translation speed

CAPTCHA Recognition using Neural Networks | Algorithm Design, Prof. Varsha Apte
Autumn 2012
Implemented a combination of image processing techniques and neural networks to defeat the CAPTCHA
Trained an artificial neural network for character recognition by appropriately tuning the configuration of
network, learning rate and momentum factor

Other projects
Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Data | Yahoo! HackU
Autumn 2013
Extracted sentiment from real time messages on a microblog about peoples opinion regarding a social topic
Developed an interface to exhibit geographical variations in the derived sentiment
Real Time Locating System (RTLS) | Institute Technical Summer Project
Spring 2012
Tracked the location of an object in a contained area; determined the position by measuring angles to the object
from three known points using laser emitter and photodetectors as receivers
Selected as one of the flagship projects in the Annual Technical Exhibition and UG Research Symposium

Formula Student (Silverstone, UK) | IIT Bombay Racing

Autumn 2011
Designed circuits using Eagle and simulated their performance in LT Spice for implementation in EVo1, the electric
race car for Formula Student, a global competition for car design in 2012
