Apart from academics, I love to read a lot. I like reading webcomics, graphic novels as well as novels. I also love reading philosophy, partly because of a couple of undergrad philosophy courses that I took. I also enjoying swimming and squash.
"Telemedicine in a Disconnected Environment (TIDE)" (Fall 2007 - Fall 2008) | Thesis | Precursor work
This was my BTech Final Year Project. Under Prof Huzur Saran and Prof Sanjiva Prasad, we designed, implemented and demonstrated a Telemedicine prototype which used mechanical backhaul over existing vehicular transport. The solution was designed to be very cheap and very high bandwidth to accomodate medical data. We leveraged the Kiosknet
Architecture developed at University of Waterloo and the DTN reference implementation developed
at University of California, Berkeley.
"Percolation Theory" (Spring 2007) With Prof Amitabha Bagchi, I performed an extensive literature survey of this field. The survey led to the introduction of a course on Percolation Theory - CSL 866 (Fall 2007)
"Design Practices" (Fall 2005) As part of the Design practices course, I implemented a fault tolerant distributed storage service using Reed Solomon encoding. As another project under the same course, I made a network First Person shootout game using Java 3D for rendering and Java sockets for communication.
