Research Projects
Stage-1 B.Tech Project, Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay (July 10-present)
"Capacity Analysis of Wireless Channels"
Guide- Prof. Sibi Raj Bhaskaran Pillai
- The project involves a study of select topics in Information Theory with current emphasis on the capacity analysis of DMCs with feedback and Secret-Key Agreement
- The bound on the secret-key capacity was established in a fairly general setting where only one of the channel matrices was required to have all entries Gaussian
Summer Internship - University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada (May-July 10)
"Information Theoretic Secret-Key Agreement"
Guide- Prof. Ashish Khisti
- Proved that the secret-key capacity is bounded in the SNR for a non coherent MIMOME channel
- Established the achievability of the secret-key capacity and proved that the capacity achieving input distribution is discrete
- The proof necessitated the use of new and innovative tools in mathematics and Information Theory and was the first ever complete proof that established the bound on the secret-key capacity
Summer Internship - Wilcom Technologies, Antenna Lab, IIT Bombay (May-June 09)
"Radar Recorder"
Guide- Prof. Girish Kumar
- Designed the microcontroller circuitry for the Radar Recorder in a team of two
- Proposed a model to measure the speed of any vehicle passing by the device and to give its direction
- Executed and presented the task and also suggested a new design by interfacing a 'UART' circuit board that was appreciated and accepted for fabrication
Undergraduate Research Award (Mar-May 09)
"Asterisks"
Guide: Prof. U.B. Desai
- Integrated a cell phone to 'Asterisk' a PBX, by writing a channel driver for a low cost GSM phone
- By integrating a cell phone the cost was brought down by having an IP PBX with an outgoing facility
Technical Projects
Course Project, Advanced Computing for Electrical Engineers (Aug-Nov 10)
"Rabin Cryptosystem"
Guide- Prof. Sachin Patkar, Prof. S. Vijayakumaran
- Implemented the Encryption and the Decryption process of the Rabin Cryptosystem in C++
- Devised a disambiguation scheme to eliminate the inherent problem of multiple decryption outputs associated with the decryption process of the Rabin Cryptosystem
Nexus, Techfest 2009 - 10, Technical Festival, IIT Bombay (May-Oct 09)
"Thesus, A Swarm Robot"
Guide- Prof. Girish Kumar
- Designed a robot using a CC2500 RF transceiver and ATMEGA32 microcontroller, that transversed a 5x5 maze to reach a destination
- Programmed the microcontroller in C++ and used WinAVR as a software development tool
Techfest 2008 - 09, Technical Festival, IIT Bombay (Oct 08 - Jan 09)
"Micromouse, An Autonomous Robot"
Guide- Prof. Girish Kumar
- Designed and developed the Micromouse, an autonomous self contained machine designed to get to the centre of a maze in the shortest possible time
- Developed microcontroller Application board, stepper motors circuitry and an IR sensors array and programmed the machine in C++ and used 'Eagle' to design the Application board
Digital Circuits Lab Project (Feb-Apr 09)
"Digital frequency cum phase meter"
Guide- Prof. Sachin Patkar
- Designed and developed a meter which measured the frequency of any kind of wave up to 1MHz and the phase difference between two waves of the same frequency
- The project got special appreciation and was preserved as a 'model project' for the upcoming batches
Course Project, Computer Programming and Utilization (Sep - Nov 07)
"Arkanoid"
Guide- Prof. Prof. S. Sudarshan
- Developed a game using EZWindows aimed at scoring points by breaking a set of bricks using a glider
- The game comprised of 3 levels with varying levels of difficulties and different implementation logics that was appreciated and ranked the best project in the batch of about 50 students
