PROJECT WORK

1. MS Thesis work: Design and implementation of an animation/ visualization system for massive datasets (volumes). 
Number-cruncher program to work through GigaBytes of data, involving massive matrix transformations, disk I/O, and 
custom designed tree structures, using C/C++/Unix (Irix). Performance   optimization of the same, using several generic as 
well as specific methods.

2. Fall 2000 - Spring 2001: Visualization of data from 3D time varying datasets: Interactive tool to analyze results from feature 
tracking applications and present data in graphical format to the user, allowing inspection into the evolution of features, 
extract individual features, and the like. Uses C/C++, Visualization Toolkit (VTK), and a Tcl/Tk wrapper GUI. 

3. Spring 2000: Implementation of secure channel (SSH) kernel-level router for Linux. Researches into techniques to build 
secure systems. Established an encrypted secure network between designated 'router' machines while freeing clients on 
either end from encryption overhead by shifting the encryption to the routers.

4. Spring 2000: 'VoIDE': Visualization over Internetworked Distributed Environments - client-server component-based 
visualization program, using Java client - C++/Tcl-Tk server - vtk graphics pipeline. 

5. Fall 1997 - Spring 1998: Senior year project: "Load forecasting for an urban power grid" - using SCADA, parameter 
estimation, singular value decomposition, and expert systems. MATLAB and C/C++.
