  • Introduction to Research:
    • Scaling DNS using Principles of Consistent Hashing
      Guide: Dr. K Hari Babu
      • Studied peer-to-peer DNS systems using the Chord protocol to enhance load balancing, fault tolerance, and query performance in traditional DNS architectures.
    • Unsupervised Fake News and Hate-speech Detection
      Guide: Dr. Yashvardhan Sharma
      • Explored fake news detection in an unsupervised manner, employing variational autoencoders with a focus on reconstruction error analysis and clustering of samples in a lower-dimensional space.
      • Our work 'Applying Transfer Learning using BERT-based models for Hate Speech Detection' (Paper) was published at the Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation, 2021.
    • Storage and query system analysis for high-speed netflow
      Guide: Dr. Ashutosh Bhatia
      • Built a netflow analysis platform (network traffic generator + nProbe for netflow export + Logstash as the netflow collector + Elasticsearch/Druid as the data store + a query engine) to conduct a study of high-speed network telemetry platforms under varying system loads.
  • Teaching Assistanships:
    • CS F213 Object Oriented Programming (Fall 2021) with Prof. Amit Dua
  • Extra-curriculars:
    • Students' Union Technical Team
