• Fault Identification and Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Bearings using Poincare Maps, Fast Fourier Transform and Convolutional Neural Networks - Published in Mathematical Models in Engineering  - https://doi.org/10.21595/mme.2022.22364

• Fraunhofer Institute of Production Technology, Deutschland

Research Project Intern -- March 2024 to Present

• I am working with MS-SQL databases to clean, process and transform data. Leveraging the powerful Python Pandas framework, I perform data visualization and feature extraction, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to uncover insights. 

• Additionally, I am developing outlier detection models, such as One-class SVM and Autoencoders, to identify anomalies and ensure data integrity.

• Fraunhofer Institute of Production Technology, Deutschland

Research Assistant (Wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft) -- April 2023 to Present

• Developing a robust pipeline for noise reduction in images, followed by feature extraction and processing using Python libraries such as OpenCV, PyTorch, etc. 

• Utilizing Meta's Vision Transformer-based Segment Anything Model (SAM) for advanced semantic segmentation, combined with traditional computer vision techniques to accurately extract edges and identify notable clusters in images.

• University of Auckland, New Zealand

Student Researcher (Thesis) -- January 2022 to May 2022

• Simulated fully actuated robotic hands in the MuJoCo physics engine at the New Dexterity lab under Dr. Minas Liarokapis. 

• Completed a comparative study of the position of the grasped object after mapping the robotic hand movement in real life to the movement in the MuJoCo engine.

• National Institute of Technology Surathkal, India

Student Researcher (Thesis) -- August 2021 to December 2021

• Worked on the Modelling and Simulation of the Lower Limb Exoskeleton as part of my undergraduate thesis.

• I utilized MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape to model the human upper body. Additionally, I briefly worked on the integration of the upper body with the lower body.

• Henkel Adhesives Technologies India Private Limited

Summer Intern -- May 2019 to July 2019

• Analyzed the factory’s warehouse storage capacity and transportation patterns and recommended measures to increase capacity. Recommended measures to increase production and cut down on transportation costs at the factory.

• Visual Lane Following for Scaled Automated Vehicles

RWTH Aachen University -- April 2024 to Present

• • As part of ACDC(Automated and Connected Driving Challenges) Research Project, I am working in a team of four students to develop lane following algorithms for a Scaled Vehicle of 1/10th size.

  • I have worked on classical lane detection using Sobel and Canny Edge filters. In addition, I am working on the semantic segmentation of the drivable area using deep learning models.

• Machine Learning in Galaxy and Structure Formation

BITS Pilani -- January 2021 to May 2021

• I implemented a ‘Decision Trees Regressor’ algorithm that predicted the redshift of galaxies using the Galaxy Zoo database.

• Additionally, I performed the classification of galaxies into different types (spiral, elliptical and merger) using Decision Trees and Random Forests classification algorithms.
