It aims to facilitate efficient and comprehensive retrieval of scholarly content, offering a valuable resource for researchers, academicians, and professionals seeking access to a vast repository of scientific knowledge and literature.

Pollen tree detector (from satellite images) (AI/Image detection)

Building a tree map of an area is very intensive task, especially when the trees are covering large and inaccessible sites. Numerous tree maps are available, but they are incomplete. However, having a detailed tree map may help predicting seasonal pollen spread in cities. Why is this important? Airborne pollen causes seasonal allergies. The number of people having allergic reactions increases on yearly basis. Remote collection of such information can be made possible through the utilization of satellite imagery. This project presents an automated tree detecting and identification method based on image processing of satellite imagery.

Different Arduino projects

Mostly projects from youtube tutorials and combination of different projects.

Different signal processing projects (TSA/Python)

The project primarily focuses on the domain of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal processing, with an emphasis on encoding and decoding techniques. Its core objectives encompass safeguarding against spoofing attacks and conducting in-depth analysis of GNSS time series data. This endeavor represents a multifaceted effort to enhance the reliability and security of GNSS signal utilization.

Interests

Apart from programming: I am interested in Statistics, training and any kind of physical activity. At a young age, I enjoyed playing tennis, but my interests changed - now I am more into Fitness and healthy food. I still play tennis with my friends, but not at the high level as before.

I was a part of a charity that provides free tennis camps for children (2012-2015) where I earned my tennis coach certificate.

After living in a rustic, small town for the past 18 years, I was craving change and adventure. Ten years later, I鈥檝e traveled to more places during college than in the first two decades of my life. My best travel experience was Indonesia in 2018 & Dubai in 2019.

I love to read in my free time. My recommendation would be:
