Broadly, my research interests lie in the areas of Computer Networking and Robotics. Within computer networking, I focus on Software Defined Networks (SDNs), Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), and Network Traffic Analysis. In the domain of robotics, my work involves Coordinated Multi-robot Systems and Visual Language Navigation (VLN).
Research Projects:
Performance Analysis of Internet Protocols: The performance analysis of protocol needs to be carried out to check their vulnerabilities, compatibility with other similar protocols, correctness of an implementation, conformance to an existent standard.
Network Vulnerability Assessment: The increasing interconnectedness of our IT assets has created a complex network that is becoming more vulnerable to cyber threats. There is a need to enhance the security of our networks and protect our critical assets, such as servers, peripherals, and devices, within our dynamic and distributed cyber environment.
Delay Tolerant Networking (DTNs): Congestion control algorithms for DTNs, DTN Routing Algorithms, Opportunistic Network Architecture Design and Implementation, Information Dissemination in Vehicular DTNs
Software Defined Networking (SDNs): Modeling of software defined networks for their performance analysis. Implementation of traffic engineering solutions like load balancing, application/content based routing, traffic filtering, traffic flow management, traffic analysis.
Coordinated Multi-robot Systems (cMRS): Multi-robot tasks are area exploration, pickup and delivery, mapping, path planning, warehouse automation, search and rescue, etc. Coordination in multi-robot systems can be realized through either explicit or implicit communication between the robots. Explicit communication requires information exchange between robots through message transfer.
Design and Development of Visual Assist System: In this work, we are developing a visual assistance system to help visually impaired individuals navigate indoor environments. The navigation experience is enhanced by leveraging semantic information and associating textual labels with corresponding objects
