"At a certain moment, after all, every man chooses: will he go forward, will he go back? There was nothing dishonourable in not being blown about by every little modern wind. Better to have worth, to entrench, to be an oak of one's own generation." - John le Carre, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

I am a first year graduate student in the Department of Computer Sciences at University of Wisconsin Madison. I completed my B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University Chennai.

Work Projects
  • Conversation Base Information Retrieval System
    Helped in the developement of Entity recognition Module and Knowledge Graph generation module.
  • Mining of Wikipedia
    Helped in Mining the entire wikipedia web corpus and establishing implicit and explicit semantic relationships between mined entities using in-link, out-link and cyclic links between them.
  • User Signature based on search actions
    Helped in the construction of user profile from the user search logs and developed an analysis tool for demonstrating search enhancement procedures based on user activity in PDA devices.
  • Keywords Extraction Module
    Helped in the development and maintenance of Language Model based Keywords Extraction Module.
  • Smarttags Merging
    Developed Modules for merging of Smarttag Entities mined from various data sources as Wikipedia, IMDb, LastFM.
  • Actionables Generation
    Helped in the developement of actionables data generation module, which associates relevant actionable features with each smarttag based on its type.
Research Projects
  • Dynamic Stress Wormhole Routing for Spidergon Architecture with Effective Fault Tolerance and Load Distribution
    Designed a new routing algorithm for Spidergon Network on Chip (NoC) with load balancing and fault tolerance and compared the performance with all existing architecture and routing algorithm.
  • 3D Modeling of real time objects
    Simulated an ancient castle with special effect Rendering, Point Source Illumination, Animated Smoke Emission and 3D camera covering the entire arena using OpenGL.
  • Protocol Independent Multicasting – Sparse model (RFC 4601)
    Implemented a multicast routing protocol that uses the underlying unicast routing information base and builds unidirectional shared trees rooted at a rendezvous point per group.
  • Job site management system
    Includes profile management of users under different categories, recommendations based on user activities and category and development of a forum and messenger for the users.
  • Single Window Admission System
    Developed an application that allows concurrent access to the admission system. The GUI was developed using the graphics functionality in C.
  • Hot Spots based traffic monitoring system
    Simulated a self-controlled traffic monitoring system which controls traffic based on traffic density around the hot spots using 8051 microcontrollers.
