Research Projects/Talks/Contributions to External Organizations (CTEO)/Administrative Contributions to IIITA Prayagraj (ACIP)
(A) Research Projects:-
10) Coinvestigator, "NiPDD: Designing an Artificial Intelligence based CMOS Sensor system for Non-Invasive Detection of Parkinson’s disease", Biomedical Informatics, ICMR.
An Artificial Intelligence-backed olfaction detection system will be developed for the early detection of Parkinson's disease utilizing odor fingerprinting data. Low-cost and non-invasive handheld device development for the same is the primary aim of this project.
9) FIST Project Implementation Team Member, "To develop an Advance RF and Microwave Testing and Measurement Laboratory " under Fund for Improvement of S&T Infrastructure (FIST, Level-1) in Higher Educational Institutions.
This project aims to develop an advanced RF and Microwave laboratory wherein the components developed for supporting the latest wireless standards like 5G/6G Cellular networks, WiFi, etc. can be tested to meet commercial standards. Dr. Pooja Mishra is leading the Implementation Team.
8) Principal Investigator, "STI Hub in ICT at IIITA Prayagraj", funded by SEED division of DST.
It aims to train the SC/ST community in ICT and extend handholding for initiating their self-employment through the imparted training. During 2 year Pilot run 500 persons belonging to Prayagraj and Varanasi districts will get the benefits.
7) Director, IIITA Infocommunication Incubation Center (IIIC: a section 8 company established by IIITA Prayagraj)
(i) Project Head, Flexible Academic Program Integrated Service (FAPIS) platform development
The FAPIS is the backbone support system for the implementation of NEP 2020 through FAP.
6) IIITA Team of investigators working under 'The National Technical Center on Cyber Security at IITK, funded by DST.
(i) Coinvestigator, 'Industry scale IoT based testbed' module (Dr. S. Venkatesan is the PI)
(ii) Coinvestigator, 'Reliable and Privacy-Preserving Data Auditing for FOG assisted Cyber-Physical Systems (FOG-CPS)' (Dr. S. Maity is the PI)
We aim to design, implement, verify, and test the performance of provably secure cryptographic protocols for data auditing in a FOG-CPS system. In our proposed solutions, the data auditing is to be done in a localized and distributed way by the devices present inside the CPS only. This imposes the challenge of auditing to be done by a set of semi-trusted auditors, and hence, the privacy of sensitive data used by a safety-critical CPS must be ensured against a possible compromised data auditor.
