Education: Graduate Student, September 1999 - present Computer Sciences Department, University of Wisconsin-Madison GPA: 4.0/4.0 BE Computer Science and Engg., August 1995 - May 1999 School of Computer Science, College of Engg. Guindy, Anna University, India GPA: 9.8/10.0 Class rank: 1 / 82 University wide rank: 1 Project Work: Graduate class projects: Advanced Operating Systems CS 736 - Fall 1999 Working as a team of two, we developed a file system interface to the World Wide Web on Linux. This provided a uniform interface for files on the local file system and web documents and enabled applications written to use the local file system to be automatically extended to use web files. The project required the implementation of a new file system for Linux as a kernel module. Introduction to Computer Networks CS 640 - Fall 1999 Working as a team of three, we designed and implemented protocols for reliable multicasting on a datagram network. The protocols we developed were for a reliable multicast transport layer and for a datagram multicast-capable network layer over UDP. Database Management Systems: Design and Implementation CS 564 - Fall 1999 In a team of two, we developed various components of a single-user DBMS to execute certain simple SQL queries. The components that we developed include a buffer manager, heapfiles, relational and attribute catalogs and implementation of relational operators(sort merge join, grace hash join, selection, projection). Selected Undergraduate projects: Area: Distributed Systems The project entailed the implementation of an interoperability model between the distributed object models DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) and CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) to enable DCOM clients to access and use CORBA objects like native DCOM objects. Area: System Software This project involved the design of an efficient two-pass assembler(coded in C) for a well constructed subset of the 68000 instuction set. A software simulation of the 68000 processor on 80x86 was developed to serve as the base for the assembler. Area: Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence techniques in Prolog were used to enable a smart simulation of the Indian game of Pallankuzhi as a computer-human game. The minimax algorithm was used to decide the computer's moves.
