Projects and Hackathons


Some of the projects I have worked on during hackathons and throughout my career.

Enterprise to Computer : Star Trek chatbot

The Enterprise to Computer bot (E2Cbot) was created as part of 'Deep Learning for Automated Discourse' at Penn. The premise was to add a personality to the chatbot which was hosted as an Amazon Alexa skill. E2Cbot captures the 'style' of Star Trek by incorporating references from the show along with the peculiar tones of the show's characters. Details can be found at the Github repository and at Arxiv. I collaborated with Mansi Vashisht and Abheek Basu under the guidance of João Sedoc and Professor Lyle Ungar for this project.

Computation of Renewable Energy Harvesting

Simulated the working of harvesters and examined neighbourly harvesting choices for residential areas using machine learning on historical data. I collaborated with Guy Gadola under the guidance of Professor Daniel Mosse for this project.

Face Morphing

I explored Computer Vision during my time at Penn and one of the projects I did was face morphing. I took a picture of mine and tried to morph it to look like the Bollywood and Hollywood actor Deepika Padukone. Please try a browser other than Chrome if the video doesn't play.

Penn Apps 2016: Breast Milk Management System

Lact-o-log was a solution to automate tracking and management of breast milk for neonatal ICUs. It was awarded the 2nd prize at Penn Apps, the world's largest collegiate-level hackathon. I collaborated with Vidur Bhatnagar and Sneha Rajana for this hackathon. It has since evolved into a startup - Keriton.

DataHack @ Yale: Influence in Corporate Networks

DataHack@Yale focused on network science and data visualization. The McChrystal Group challenge was to identify influencers in corporate networks along with better leveraging social networks to drive corporate performance. I collaborated with Krishnan Srinivasan, Clark Xie and Adam Erickson for this hackathon and we were awarded the 1st prize overall and the 2nd prize for the McChrystal Group challenge.

Wharton Data Visualization Hack: Avis Car Rental

The challenge was to analyze and visualize data as well as derive strategies for pricing of car rentals for Avis and its subsidiaries. I collaborated with Saurav Bose, Sakthivel Sivaraman and Sai Krishnan for this hackathon and we were awarded the 3rd prize.
