Career History

 

Graduate Research Assistant, Minerva Research Group, Gatech, Atlanta, GA..……………Aug 03 – Present

¨       Research topics included: DTI-MRI image Segmentation, Tracking, Shape Analysis, Filtering.


Software Engineer, Teradyne, Boston, MA..…………………………………………..………… Sept 99 – Aug 03

¨       Developed a DSP library in C/C++

¨       Designed and implemented (in C++) thread-safe device drivers used in circuit testing industry

¨       Designed and implemented COM modules (using ATL) with documents written in UML (Rational Rose)

¨       Designed and developed GUI modules in VB (utilizing ActiveX clients and servers)

¨       Implemented algorithms to test signal outputs of GSM cell phones

 

Research Engineer, Scientific Systems Inc, Woburn, MA.......................................... Oct 97  – Aug 99

¨       Developed multithreaded GUI applications using MFC (VC++) (For Statistical Forecasting Tool)

¨       Implemented C algorithms for the back end processing of the GUI

¨       Tested C routines for cross-platform compatibility (Unix and Windows)

¨       Implemented programs in Matlab and its interface to C (C-Mex files)

 

Research Intern, Central Electronics Eng Research Institute, India................. Jan 97 – July 97

¨       Developed a software (in C) for decoding packetized video elementary stream using MPEG-2 standards. In particular the I, P and B pictures were successfully decoded.

 

 

Projects: Tufts University, Boston, MA…………………………………………………………..May 02 – Aug 02

¨       Derived mathematical formulation for the maximum Spectral coefficient estimation of various transforms like Fourier, Haar and Hadamard for a first order Markov process. These estimates were used for image reconstruction (in case of a packet loss) and enhancement.
