Poster presented at IEEE VIS 2026, Boston, MA

Abs DOI Bib HTML Poster Website

Peak-a-Boo is a visual analytics prototype that prioritizes ambiguous chromatographic peak detections for review. It shows evidence such as local contrast, noise, and detection stability, and lets analysts explore detector settings in an interactive sandbox. The prototype was tested on synthetic chromatograms.

Research Video Highlights

Selected short video highlights connected to my research projects.

Research on detecting vulnerabilities in distributed networks using tools i.e., Nmap & CVE mapping. Focused on building lightweight, automated frameworks for on-site threat detection.

Applied deep learning and transfer learning to diagnose prostate cancer from MRI scans. Combined medical imaging with neural networks to improve early-stage detection accuracy.

Designed blockchain-based access control systems for peer-to-peer networks. Worked with smart contracts, consensus protocols, and governance models for secure decentralized architecture.
