MAJOR PROJECTS AND SEMINAR

• Image Super Resolution and Quality Enhancement

(M.Tech Project, Guide: Prof. Suyash Awate) (June’23-till date)
◦ Implemented UNet and EDSR based CNN to perform Image Super Resolution, using PyTorch and mon-
itored training progress using Tensorboard.
◦ Enhanced Model effectiveness by integrating GAN-based techniques and Kendall’s uncertainty model,
resulting in substantial improvements in SSIM and LPIPS scores.
◦ Current work: Exploring the performance of Normalizing Flows in super resolution.
• Enhancing the Quality of Impaired Images
(Industry Funded Project, Guide: Prof. Suyash Awate) (July’23-till date)
◦ Worked on a joint project between IIT Bombay and a top US-based Oil Company to improve quality of
industrial degraded images.
◦ Employed GAN based methods and uncertainty estimation over traditional CNN architectures, to reduce
image degradation due to compression and low camera quality.
• Improving Model Robustness through Adversarial Training
(Seminar, Guide: Prof. Suyash Awate) (January’23-May’23)
◦ Conducted a comparative study between standard, curriculum-based and instance adaptive adversarial
training to increase model robustness against noise perturbations.
◦ Evaluated the effectiveness of adversarial training in enhancing the quality of low dose PET scans and
images from MNIST dataset.

COURSE PROJECTS

• Implementation of UNIX Shell

(CS744: Design and Engineering of Computing Systems, Instructor: Prof. Mythili Vutukuru) (Autumn 2022)
◦ Created a functional UNIX shell using C++ that utilized fork, exec and wait system calls, enabling the
foreground and background execution of essential commands.
◦ Incorporated the functionality of exit command for clean termination of the shell and SIGINT signal han-
dler for efficient foreground process termination.
• HTTP Client-Server Application
(CS744: Design and Engineering of Computing Systems, Instructor: Prof. Mythili Vutukuru) (Autumn 2022)
◦ Developed a multithreaded client server application in C++ using socket programming leveraging pthread
library to handle concurrent client connections effectively.
◦ Performed closed loop load testing to identify software and hardware bottlenecks to monitor and enhance
throughput and response time of the server.
• LSM Trees Extension for PostgreSQL
(CS631: Implementation techniques in DBMS, Instructor: Prof. S. Sudarshan) (Autumn 2022)
◦ Created a PostgreSQL extension integrating LSM tree indexing, optimizing write-heavy operations like
insert, update, and delete queries.
◦ Enhanced extension with Stepped-Merge LSM Trees, refining compaction to minimize write amplification
and improve write query performance.
• Ensemble of Diffusion Models for Image Generation
(CS726: Advanced Machine Learning, Instructor: Prof. Sunita Sarawagi) (Spring 2023)
◦ Trained an ensemble of DDPMs (Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models) on FashionMNIST utilizing
Pytorch, to enhance the performance of image generation over vanilla DDPMs by 3%.
◦ Identified the potential to increase sampling speed by employing pipelined architecture on denoisers.
