My four years of undergraduate studies in CS at PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore and my exposure and penchant for research have made the choice of further study, for me, an obvious one. My goal is to pursue a career in research, either in industry or in academia. Ten years from now, I envisage myself as a full-fledged research professional in an organization, or a faculty member at one of the leading universities. The first step towards my objective would be to pursue Masters Program in Computer Science. My ultimate degree objective would however be a Ph.D.
Throughout my student career I have been a top ranking student. I was in the top 0.05% of all engineering aspirants in my state, which secured me a place in PSG College of Technology- one of the premier institutions in India. I have done justice to my potential by contributing notably to the research works in our college as well as maintaining my academic rank within the top 5% of the students in my class.
Over the past two years, my liking for research has burgeoned especially in the fields of security and distributed computing.
I started by studying various information hiding techniques. After extensive literature survey in the fields of Steganography and Watermarking, I published my own technique for efficient information hiding in low resolution images using Newtons Forward Difference in Springer-Verlag LNCS. I have also worked with watermarking techniques especially audio watermarking and echo hiding and my paper titled “A Novel Embedding System For Efficient Watermarking In Auido In Echo” tests the fitness of the NFD Technique in this field of research. I used the NFD Technique to compress uncorrelated frames in a video file by establishing a relationship by generating a Correlation polynomial. This proposal was well acclaimed when I presented in the International Conference of Human Machine’s Interface (ICHMI 04) at Indian Institute of Science (IISc Bangalore).
