10) Coinvestigator, "NiPDD: Designing an Artificial Intelligence based CMOS Sensor system for Non-Invasive Detection of Parkinson’s disease", Biomedical Informatics, ICMR.

An Artificial Intelligence-backed olfaction detection system will be developed for the early detection of Parkinson's disease utilizing odor fingerprinting data. Low-cost and non-invasive handheld device development for the same is the primary aim of this project.

9) FIST Project Implementation Team Member, "To develop an Advance RF and Microwave Testing and Measurement Laboratory " under Fund for Improvement of S&T Infrastructure (FIST, Level-1) in Higher Educational Institutions.

This project aims to develop an advanced RF and Microwave laboratory wherein the components developed for supporting the latest wireless standards like 5G/6G Cellular networks, WiFi, etc. can be tested to meet commercial standards. Dr. Pooja Mishra is leading the Implementation Team.

8) Principal Investigator, "STI Hub in ICT at IIITA Prayagraj", funded by SEED division of DST.

It aims to train the SC/ST community in ICT and extend handholding for initiating their self-employment through the imparted training. During 2 year Pilot run 500 persons belonging to Prayagraj and Varanasi districts will get the benefits.

7) Director, IIITA Infocommunication Incubation Center (IIIC: a section 8 company established by IIITA Prayagraj)

(i) Project Head, Flexible Academic Program Integrated Service (FAPIS) platform development

The FAPIS is the backbone support system for the implementation of NEP 2020 through FAP.

6) IIITA Team of investigators working under 'The National Technical Center on Cyber Security at IITK, funded by DST. 

(i) Coinvestigator, 'Industry scale IoT based testbed' module (Dr. S. Venkatesan is the PI)

The aims of the project include to setup the IoT security test bed which will include smart home to critical infrastructure devices. To explore the possible vulnerabilities on the IoT devices and suggest preventive measures, To develop a security audit framework for the IoT devices and its communication network, To develop a generic secure IoT device
communication model which includes lightweight key management, secure channel, etc. for the IoT based smart home and critical infrastructure.

(ii) Coinvestigator, 'Reliable and Privacy-Preserving Data Auditing for FOG assisted Cyber-Physical Systems (FOG-CPS)' (Dr. S. Maity is the PI)

We aim to design, implement, verify, and test the performance of provably secure cryptographic protocols for data auditing in a FOG-CPS system. In our proposed solutions, the data auditing is to be done in a localized and distributed way by the devices present inside the CPS only. This imposes the challenge of auditing to be done by a set of semi-trusted auditors, and hence, the privacy of sensitive data used by a safety-critical CPS must be ensured against a possible compromised data auditor.

5) Co-Investigator of Design Innovation Center (DIC) spoke of the IIT-BHU hub (Dr. Suneel Yadav is the PI)

Besides extending support to the Coordinator (PI) for running the spoke activities, in the capacity of Principal Investigator, the following main projects have been undertaken with the help of UG/PG students and financial support of DIC:

(i) Development of 3D printer

(This technology has been transferred to ITI Mankapur  for commercial production)

(ii) Development of D2D protocol testbeds for Android and IOS

(iii) Dynamic Antenna Assembly System

(iv) Development of a prototype for alternate technology for information transfer from underwater

(v) Development of Directional ultrasonic speakers

(vi) Development of an improved version of the voting machine

(vii) Encroachment monitoring using satellite imaging technology

(viii) Development of a prototype for illustrating the Mobile Edge Computing

4) Principal Investigator of the Consultancy Project received from AMIT Pvt. Ltd.

(i) Development of FINAPP: An financial application for innovative trading of crop

(ii) Development of ROJAPP: Apna Rojgar application

(iii) Development of CROPAPP: Satellite imaging-based crop monitoring application

3) Principal investigator of the consultancy Project received from EXsensor Pvt. Ltd.

(i) Designing and testing of the multi-antenna wireless sensor network node

2) Coinvestigator, of the project, "Popularizing the benefits of Information and Communication Technology ICT among the farmers and rural population", STEMM scheme of NCSTC, DST. (Dr. Vijay Chaurasiya is the PI)

It aims to undertake various innovative activities for popularizing various existing IT platforms and tools.
