Selected Projects
These are some of my recent projects. You can find them on my github.
Helmet Detection using Yolov5 CNN and Number Plate Detection
Used Python, YOLOv5 CNN architecture, Tesseract OCR Engine, TensorFlow’s Object Detection Library, Tkinter to build a model that helped detect motorcyclists without helmets and their number plates.
Bizbot: Your Business Partner
Designed and implemented a chatbot for messenger that served as a B2C intermediary for order processing in an online retailing and tailored a desktop application for administrators for inventory management and comprehensive report generation. Used Java, JavaFX, Python, MySQL, Dialogflow, Jasper Studio.
Forecasting soil moisture values across Nepal using satellite images via remote sensing
Created a CNN-LSTM model to analyze the past trends and forecast future moisture values. Used several activation functions and optimization.
Research Projects
Forecasting soil moisture values across Nepal using satellite images via remote sensing
We accessed the datasets provided by NASA SMAP L4 3-hourly 9-km surface and root zone soil moisture using google earth engine and augmented it into an image per day. Then, we created a CNN-LSTM model to analyze the past trends and forecast future moisture values. As the input was intensive, we used several activation functions and optimization methods to make it run using google colab. After months of model evaluation, model training and changes, expected predictions were met. The manuscript is almost ready and once its done, it will be sent to a peer reviewed journal for review/publication.
Contact
Outside Academia and Career.
These are the things that I like to do during leisure. I love to watch and play football and cricket. I love travelling, trying different foods and experiencing different cultures. I also listen to podcasts and music. Theoritical physics is something I admire a lot and I engage myself to it when possible. Most of all, I am a car enthusiast ready to have a chat over a cup of tea.
