Projects

Evaluation of Multi-Modal MRI Images for Brain Tumor Segmentation

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8994408/

Code repository for the published research paper

  • A method that incorporates a deep learning-based model U-Net to address brain tumor localization.
  • Utilizing BRATS2015 as the primary dataset for Brain MRI Images.
  • Using the same architecture for the evaluation of individual modalities.
  • Presented and published in ICET’19 conference.

Bron Kerbosch Algorithm

Open source Graph Theory C library contribution

  • Code for implementing the BK algorithm to show all maximal cliques and one maximum clique from within set of maximal cliques.
  • Implemented in C language using Graph Theory concepts.

Data Dissemination for Bioinformatics - An Agent Migration Approach

Final Year Capstone Project for the BS Computer Science

  • An agent migration approach to fill in the gap that existing approaches have not addressed: retrieving remote data in a low-quality network environment, especially unstable mobile computing environments and do the client-side computation on the server end.
  • The ability of migration offers mobile agents a means to overcome the high latency or limited bandwidth problem by moving their computations to required resources or services. Users will be able to see his/her activity graphically visualized logs and statistics on their smartphone screen.
  • The proposed approach can also overcome the resource limitation of mobile terminals and release mobile users from keeping online persistently.
