About Myself:

I graduated with a Masters Degree in Computer Science from the Department of EECS at Ohio University. My research interests are in Internetworking, Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN), Interplanetary Internet (IPN), Resource Management, Algorithms and Operating Systems.

I received my Bachelor of Engineering [Distinction] degree from Sinhgad College of Engg., at University of Pune, India.

Professional Activities:

• Research Activities:

  I was actively involved in research activities in IRG/ CETS Research Group. Dr. Hans Kruse was advising me in my thesis work, along with Dr. Shawn Ostermann and Dr. Carl Bruggeman.

  I worked as a Research Assistant as a member of  "RM-Controls group" (Dr. Frank Drews, Dr. Douglas Lawrencee , William Leal, Dr. Lonnie Welch and headed by Dr. Robert Judd) at CIDDS.

• Work Activities:

  I worked as a Teaching Assistant for EECS Dept.

  I was working as a Graduate Assistant at CWE/WAC. responsibilities include maintaining and upgrading Bobcatz MOO.

  I worked as an intern at Bilt Graphic Papers Ltd in Instrumentation Dept..

Research Projects:

• Bundle Protocol Implementation :

  The Java implementation of the Bundle Protocol is available here. Its done in Java 1.5. It currently supports only the LTP Convergence layer, and interfaces with our LTP-RI implementation.
  The BP-RI shares design methodology with the DTN2 implementation available from the DTNRG website, here.

• Virtual Spacecraft:

  Contemporary Spacecrafts are designed in a way such that all things including parameters, resources, usage schedules of instruments are fixed prior to even sending them into the space. This works really great but many a times there are chances of actually optimizing resource utilization and overall benefit from a given spacecraft.
  This project named as a Virtual Space craft when finished would be able to take in an instrument package onboard a typical real space craft and suggest some schemes to schedule the data to be beamed down to say earth. It would strictly follow the deep space protocols constraints and would be able to communicate using the [Bundling over LTP] architecture.
  To start with it currently focuses on the instrument list onboard Cassini Spacecraft.
  When the dtnbone becomes functional, we'll, literally, have to deploy these virtual space crafts and see how they behave in the simulated DTN regions.

• Olympia :

  Olympia is a Generic Optimization Framework for solving a given problem using supported algorithm[/s] and given objective function[/s]. It is implemented in java. Olympia provides a generic platform for the 'framework user' to choose a problem from a pool of problem to be solved using available algorithms. The 'framework user' is provided with the results in the form that he selects. Privileged user is able to submit/remove problems to/from the Olympia system.

• DQRAM:

  QoS based Resource Allocation Model in Dynamic Real-Time Systems [DQRAM] ,as the name indicates ,is a new architecture proposed for dynamic real time systems. This project, hosted on sourceforge, aims at implementing the resource management algorithms for the proposed architecture.

  Applications of DQRAM include but not limited to (Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles) UCAVs .
