Projects

Vaccine Verification using RFID-based secure authentication.

The aim of the project was to use RFID technology in the fight against Covid-19. By following the process we can verify one is fully vaccinated with a good health or not, besides it we also tried to include contactless temperature verification.

An Ultra-Portable Vis-NIR Spectrometer with an Integrated Light Source for Chemometric Applications.

This is a project for on-site material inspection and quality analysis of food and agricultural produce, which require portable sensing systems. A mini spectrometer is used for the measurements and the spectra data is analyzed using machine learning. My contribution in this project was to perform measurement of different compositions of medicinal pills and post-process the spectral data to prepare it for predictive model building.

A survey on state-of-the-art light weight, low energy operating system and technologies for wearable devices.

The primary objective of this project was to describe and explain about the light weight operating system, to know the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of light weight OS. We concentrated on various kinds of Light weight, Low energy operating systems and their applications that are used in this era.

COVID-19 Alert Distance.

This project is related to the current pandemic situation of COVID-19. A replica model to alert human to keep safe distance from each other.
