My Projects

Here is where you can view some of my most favorite projects that I have had the pleasure of working on.

Earthquake prediction using deep learning

Data science • 2016

I created an algorithm based on deep learning that can discern foreshock, mainshock or aftershock in real-time. Until now, it is impossible to identify the type of earthquake in real-time. Identifying foreshocks as and when they occur provides valuable insight to predict imminent earthquakes. After training, I successfully classified them into their respective types with high accuracy (>99%). The project is one of the first applications of deep learning in the field of seismology, and I am thrilled and excited about it.

Improving light extraction efficiency of OLEDs

• Optics • Photonics • OLED • Simulation

This was my first research project. This project was a colloboration between Physics department and Moeser Baer company. The goal of this project was to improve extraction efficiency of OLED. The light coming out of a OLED device is only 20% of what is produced. This is due to reflection,transmission and other losses. To combat these losses, we used Silver nano particles. My contribution to the project was to study the effect of size and shape of Silver nano particles and their effect to improve the light extraction efficiency of OLED.

Steering a car using hand gestures

Gesture recognition • Prototype • Computer Vision • 2011 •

I made a prototype to identify hand gestures and used them to steer a custom toy car. To recognize hand gestures, I attached a colour tag in my forefinger, which my camera was tracking. I wrote a code in MATLAB to monitor the colour tag and interfaced and I interfaced it with an Arduino. The MATLAB code provided instructions to the Arduino. In turn, the Arduino controlled the motors and steered the car accordingly. I exhibited my prototype during IIT Roorkee's annual hobby fest and received 1st prize and accolades from the audience.
