I'm a PhD candidate at the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory, IC, EPFL, under the direction of Prof. Karl Aberer. In 2006, I recieved a MTech in Electrical Engineering from IIT, Bombay. Before joining EPFL, I spent one year working for an Indian startup.

Projects.
  • OKKAM Project: It aims at enabling the Web of Entities, namely a virtual space where any collection of data and information about any type of entities (e.g. people, locations, organizations, events, products, etc.) published on the Web can be integrated into a single virtual, decentralized, open knowledge base (like the Web did for hypertexts, read here what Tim Berners-Lee says on this parallel).
  • Python Web Graph Generator: Released under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (FAQ) (2000+ downloads).
  • OpenSense: The project addresses key research challenges in the domain of information and communication systems related to community-based sensing using wireless sensor network technology in the context of air pollution monitoring. This project will result in open technology that allows integrating diverse sensors, including mobile sensors, into a single environmental model. The information processing techniques we develop will provide important insights to enable other Nano-Tera application domains dealing with monitoring complex events.
  • conftrotter: Conference tracker and conference search engine.
