Research Experiences

Social Network Analysis

  • Explore Magdalenian Hunter-Gatherer Societies: Investigate and comprehend the intricacies of social structures within Magdalenian hunter-gatherer societies. This involves a detailed examination of relationships, hierarchies, and behavioral patterns during the Magdalenian era.
  • Uncover Hidden Relationships: Utilize advanced analytical techniques to uncover hidden relationships among individuals within the Magdalenian communities. Identify key influencers, social hubs, and the flow of information to gain a comprehensive understanding of the social fabric.
  • Similarity Indexing Between Social Sites: Develop and implement similarity indices to quantify and measure the degree of resemblance between different social sites. This comparative analysis aims to identify commonalities, differences, and potential influences that shape social structures across various Magdalenian communities.


Fog-based Dynamic Traffic Light Control System for Improving Public Transport

  • Intelligent traffic control system for an entire city using wireless sensor network and fog-computing.
  • Proposed an intelligent traffic control system for multiple intersections to cover an entire city using real-time traffic data.
  • In this research, we used sensors to collect real-time traffic data and a wireless sensor network for data transmission. Finally, we proposed an algorithm to find the best traffic phase and phase duration for all the intersections of the city.
  • In order to achieve a distributed architecture, we used fog computing and Docker to store and transfer data among the intersections


Efficient dynamic traffic light control for ITS

  • o Proposed an intelligent traffic control system for a single intersection.
  • o Used sensors to collect real-time traffic data and proposed an algorithm that determines the best traffic phase for the individual intersection
