1. Junior Research Fellow

   Government Engineering College, Ajmer

   Apr 2024 — Present · Ajmer, IN

   As a Junior Research Fellow (JRF), I am contributing to the SERB-SURE funded project titled “Robust Forensic Analysis of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle using Federated Learning and Deobfuscation Techniques” under the guidance of Principal Investigator (PI), Dr. Vinesh Kumar Jain. My role involves conducting in-depth research on UAV forensic analysis, federated learning, and data deobfuscation techniques. I am actively developing and implementing machine learning and deep learning models for UAV trajectory prediction and forensic investigations, as well as analyzing drone flight logs to recover encrypted or corrupted telemetry data.Additionally, I am working on software development and data handling, utilizing Python to create forensic analysis tools. My responsibilities include processing large-scale UAV datasets, performing data cleaning, implementing data analytics techniques, and optimizing scripts for data extraction, preprocessing, and visualization. I also contribute to technical documentation and publications by preparing research reports, authoring papers for reputed journals and conferences, and assisting in writing project proposals and progress reports for funding agencies.Collaboration is a key aspect of my role, as I work closely with faculty, researchers, and students on project-related tasks. I mentor undergraduate students, participate in seminars, workshops, and academic discussions, and present research findings. Additionally, I ensure the timely completion of project deliverables, assist in setting up experimental setups and software tools, and maintain regular communication with the Principal Investigator and project team.
