You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
—George Bernard Shaw
Profile
I am a second year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at NJIT and advised by Dr. Yehoshua Perl. My research interests include medical informatics, ontologies, object-oriented database, data mining and semantic web.
I am currently working in the Medical Informatics Lab devising automated and semi-automated techniques to make auditing of medical terminologies easier. My current research domain involves a medical terminology called SNOMED which is maintained by IHTSDO. I program in Java and use Oracle and Access as the backend database.
I have previously worked in the Remote Sensing Lab at NJIT for a year in 2008-09 where I worked with devising techniques to analyse satellite and in situ data to study the impact of climate change on coastal water quality, especially, in the NY-NJ area.
I have also worked as a Lecturer in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2007 and have taught undergraduate courses in Computer Engineering like Simulation and Modeling, Computer Network, Software Engineering and Object Oriented Programming in C++.
Besides, I am the President of the Graduate Student Association at NJIT since Apr 2010. I am also the President Emeritus of DeepCS, the College of Computing Sciences Graduate Student Association.
