PROJECTS
Classical Music Composition based on Cellular Automata (B.E. Project, under the guidance of Dr. Sukanta Das) [June'11 - May'12]
- Analyzed one dimensional Cellular Automata with respect to linear and nonlinear rules.
- Classified the rules into four major groups.
- Class A+ represents Very Good Sound and a good pseudorandom pattern has been generated in the CA evolving steps.
- Class A represents Good Sound, Class B represents Average Sound and Class C represents bad sound.
- Initial focus was on generating some meaningful sounds.
- Assigned rule set from class A+ to generate good Ragas.
- Set initial pattern and evolved next state from that.
- In each state we consider each 8bit block as some sargam and generate music based on that sargam.
- Goal was to build a data set (CA Rules) for Indian Classical Music.
Design a one way hash function based on 2-Dimentional Cellular Automata (M.Tech Project, under the guidance of Prof. Dipanwita
Roychowdhury) [May'16 - till date]
- Studied and implemented 2 dimensional Cellular automata.
- Selected some special rules to get very good pseudorandom pattern.
- Divided the message into some fixed sized block.
- Hashed each block with a fixed hash function and generate the hashed value for the whole message.
- To implement the hash function we reordered the message block as a 2-D array and implemented some 2d-CA rule(linear
&nonlinear) on that array and generate next state of that block.
- Used the next state of previous block with the present state of current block in the one way hash function.
Build a shell (like bash) over unix kernel (Term Project, Guided by Prof. Chandan Giri) [Aug-Oct 2010]
- The shell supports basic unix commands: ls, cd, mkdir, rm, cp, mv, pwd. Also it will allow to execute an user program.
Finding and Recommending users with similar interest in Twitter (Term Project, Guided by Prof. Pawan Goyal) [Feb-April 2016]
- Initially post.xml file is parsed which contains User IDs and related Tags.
- Then entropy of each user is calculated and users are filtered based on a threshold value.
- Feature Vectors of filtered users is created.
- A Graph is constructed using these feature vectors.
- A hierarchical clustering algorithm named Infomap is applied to recommend users with similar interests.
Building a Search Engine to find top 10 document relevant to the query (Term Project, Guided by Prof. Niloy Ganguly) [Sep-Nov 2015]
- A corpus of Amazon food reviews was taken as input.
- Data were processed using R, considering review_summary and review_text and some other relevant fields.
- A command line search engine was built based on Vector Space Model and Eigenvector Centrality.
- The system when given a query, retrieve the top 10 documents relevant to the query.
Build Faculty database by web crawling (Term Project, Guided by Prof. Pallab Dasgupta) [Feb-Mar 2016]
- Developed a web crawler to crawl the IIT Kharagpur faculty webpages.
- Generated a parser using Flex/Bison to extract some specific fields like Faculty Name, Area of research, Sponsored Projects,
Publications etc from the crawled files.
- Created a faculty database based on the parsed information.
- Developed a User Interface to display the query result about any faculty information.

2. Build a complete integrated solution for Sales, Marketing, and Service department for an automobile company (Term Project, Guided by
Prof. Sudeshna Sarkar) [Mar-April 2016]
- Created separate User Interfaces for both internal and external users.
- Implemented standard business logic for each module.
- Created an integrated database and backend solution for all three departments.
INTERNSHIPS
IBM (India's one of the largest Multinational Technology Company) [June'2011- July'2011]
- Acquired a concept of Hierarchical Database (IMS).
- Developed a wrapper Program to interface IM S-DB Calls and pass data from DB2 table.
WORK EXPERIENCES
Cognizant Technology Solutions: as Programmer Analyst (2 years, 9 months) [Sep 2012 - June 2015]
