Academic Projects

Near factorization: May 12

Prof. Bernard Menezes IT, IIT Bombay
The project involved factorization of a binary number in the form of p*q +r so that the number of 1s in the original number is less
than the number of 1s in p, q, r put together.
This is important in the field of encryption using Elliptical curves. The above process will decrease the time taken to encrypt the
message.
Proposed the method of multiple factorizations in which r is repeatedly factorized.
Written code in Java to compare between the brute force method and the proposed methods to find p, q and r.
Connect-Four Game: April 12
Prof. Amithaba Sanyal CSE, HOD, IIT Bombay
Developed a double and single player game in Scheme.
Implemented Artificial Intelligence using Minimax Algorithm.
Design a graphical interface for the game in Scheme.
Written code for validating the moves, displaying the current state of board, deciding the end of the game.
Crossword Puzzle: Oct 11-Nov 11
Prof. D.B.Phatak CSE, IIT Bombay
Developed an application which can store solved crosswords in a database.
Designed a graphical user interface into which a puzzle is loaded for the user to solve.
Developed a method by which the user can enter the values into the graphical interface using mouse.
The answers given by the user are then compared with those in the database and the differences are shown.

Technical

Genetic Programming: May 12-July 12

Institute Technical Summer Project 2012
Investigated the efficiency of Genetic Algorithms in stochastic Optimization.
Developed a Java Library with the Genetic Algorithm in-built in it.
