Fuzzing Sept 2011 – Dec 2011
Systems and Network Security Course Project Supervisor: Prof Huzur Saran
· Fuzz tested the PuTTY ssh/sftp client by setting up a man-in-the-middle using ARP cache
poisoning, and distorting the packets which were being delivered to the application layer.
Progressive versions of the fuzzer achieved better code coverage as tracked using lcov tool.
Pintos Jan 2011 – May 2011
Operating Systems Course Project Supervisor: Prof Sorav Bansal
· Developed an operating system with threads, user programs, virtual memory and filesystem
functionalities. Completed an extra credit study to investigate performance slowdown of
QEMU emulator on Ubuntu 10, resulting in drastic speed improvements on benchmark tests
(over 20 times).
Content Distribution Network for Rural Areas May 2010 – July 2010
Independent Project Supervisor: Prof Aaditeshwar Seth
· Developed a client-server application facilitating bulk content sharing through social
networking interface. Due to limited bandwidth and resources, employed a delay-tolerant,
dual-channel communication model.
Screen-Doc Jan 2010 – May 2010
Electrical Engineering (Design) Course Project Supervisor: Prof Swades De
· Conceived the idea of a moving stand for a computer display which responds to the user’s
posture. Built a simplified model (involving three degrees of motion) programmed on ARM
microprocessor.
Sine Wave Generator Jan 2010 – May 2010
Digital Hardware Design Project Course Supervisor: Prof M Balakrishnan
· Implemented the Cordic algorithm for approximating sine waves on FPGA hardware without
multiplier. Frequency modulation feature was implemented and output of the wave was shown
on XGA display.
Snake game on FPGA Oct 2009 – Dec 2009
Digital Electronic Circuits Course Supervisor: Prof Shouri Chatterjee
· Implemented the popular ‘Snake’ game logic on FPGA hardware with 4-button input. The
interactive game was played with the output on a VGA display.

•
MIPS 32 Processor Model Oct 2009 – Dec 2009
Computer Architecture Course Supervisor: Prof Anshul Kumar
· Designed and simulated a 32-bit processor having RAM, RF, ALU and Control using the
Logisim tool (developed by Dr Carl Burch). This processor implemented some basic MIPS
instructions viz. lw, sw, beq, jump and R-type.
Extra-curricular Activities
• Social Service Initiatives
· Sustainable Transport System for IIT Delhi (2009-10): Developed a bicycle transport
model for intra-campus, environment friendly commute. Compiled a feasibility study based on
interviewing ∼ 250 students across different domains
· International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal (2009): Active member of a worldwide
movement to achieve justice for the Bhopal Gas Tragedy mishap. Conducted a photo
exhibition and a Sufi concert in IIT Delhi to increase awareness on the issue and raise funds
for the campaign
