Research Interests It's been over 6 years when I ventured into a researching career as an Electrical engineer. My research primarily deals with constructing software models for large-scale natural and artificial systems that involve information flow between entities. These networks could be IP-based or any other customized data-protocol for that matter. I have been involved in designing routing and network simulators in past using C++ and Java. Currently I develop models using the Discrete Event (DEVS) Formalism theory as propounded by Prof. Zeigler. Some of the areas that I spend my time learning and researching are: Software Engineering Automated Code Generation XML Based Finite State machines (XFD-DEVS) Web-based M&S using SOA, RMI and XML DEVS Modeling Language (DEVSML) DEVS Theory and Distributed Simulation Department of Defense Architectural Framework (DoDAF), NECC, GIG Computational Intelligence and Models HF Networks and their simulation analysis Wireless Networks and protocols Large-scale Heterogenous Networks I'm also fascinated by the Cognitive science and do some independent reading for fun. Though, I haven't taken any courses in this area or Neuroscience, I would very much like to delve deeper into these areas in the near future.
