Lung Tumor Segmentation

Worked on segmentation of lung tumors on DICOM images as a part of IEEE VIP-CUP problem statement (VIP-CUP 2018).

Inter IIT Tech Meet 2017

Worked on the Soldier Support Problem statement offered by DRDO. The problem statement involved 4 sub problem statements

Gesture Recognition: Made a functional gesture recognition module attached to a glove, capable of capturing any hand movement in 3-D space.
- The module could guess 39 out of 43 gestures specified by DRDO, with probability 1
AD-HOC Localization: Implemented localization of Raspberry PIs in an Ad-hoc network to locate and pin- point any device in the network.
- The module was capable of tracking nodes in a radius of 100m in closed room environment and around 200m in an outdoor environment.

Smart Meter

Made a working prototype of a smart energy meter capable of tracking energy consumption and relaying it to a server in real-time.
