Dear Sir,
I am an undergraduate student at Indian Institute of
Technology Guwahati India, working toward my bachelor's degree in Computer
Science and Engineering. I found that you are involving this year in
google summer of code. while reading through Zope's webpage I found that
your project involves working with Python. Given my prior knowledge of
Python I could be an asset to your team. I came to know of Summer of Code
quite recently and therefore could not get the time to propose new ideas.
I am really interested in working with your team.
My work background and coursework have supplied me with many
skills and an understanding of dealing with concurrent programming. I have
an avid interest in parallel programming. I am wellversed in writing
multithreaded (POSIX thread libraries) on Linux. My course in operating
system involved working on an educational operating system, PintOS
(introduced by Stanford University).
My enclosed resume provides additional details.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Sincerely,
Mukul Kumar.

Title --- Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Techniques
-----
Organization --Indian Institute Of Technology Guwahati
------------
Guide -- Dr Pradipta Bandyhopadhyay
-----
Description:
------------
• Monte Carlo Code for a minimum of 20 atoms that interact primarily with
VDWpotential.
• Computational Simulation of GO Model of simple proteins.
• Simulation of Molecular Biology Techniques and Methods
This is a self initiated project meant for simple computational simulation
of common techniques like restriction digestion, ligation, conjugation,
PCR amplification, transposition etc. The draft software has been
developed in the first phase. Further work is going on currently to
simulate accurately the statistical events like ligation simulation and
genomic DNA isolation from E. coli, RNA isolation, Restriction digestion
and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, PCR amplification,
reverse transcription PCR analysis, Purification of PCR product, Cloning
of PCR product in T vectors, preparation of competent cells,
transformation and screening of recombinant clones, β-gal expression,
Southern blot, Cell separation by centrifugation and isolation of WBC,
Isolation of plasma membrane and preparation of erythrocytes (RBC)
• Extraction of amino acid sequence and DNA sequence alignment
The project aimed at development of a code for identification of the
codons for the six reading frames, location of the open reading frames to
extract the protein-coding sequence from a gene sequence and it's
conversion to the amino acid sequence for the protein. Further, the
obtained protein sequences were used for both local and global sequence
alignment of the corresponding DNA sequences using Hidden Markov Models.
• Principle Component Analysis for clustering gene expression data
The analysis of the micro array dataset was based on the paper on the
above topic published in Bioinformatics journal by Yeung & Ruzzo in 2001.
• A simple program for Secondary Structure Prediction using Artificial
Neural Networks.
• Superimposition
Optimization of the weighted RMSD of the proteins by dynamically aligning
the SSEs (i.e. with a computational bias towards restraing the algorithm
to produce biologically significant results).

Title RFID Security & Privacy
-----
Organization Indian Institute Of Technology Guwahati
------------
Guide Prof. Sukumar Nandi
-----
Description We worked mainly on authorization, authentication
----------- and encryption. Authorization of readers to tags
can be achieved by requiring a password from the reader
before a tag can communicate to it.
Authentication of tags to reader for anti-counterfeiting
for example using an algorithm or unique signature
feature of a tag. Data communicating between a
reader and a tag must be encrypted to protect the data.
Responsibilities
----------------
=> Analyzing the existing algorithms.
=> Find the most suitable encryption algorithm.
=> Optimization of complex algorithms which are used in Smart Card
(16bit processor) in such a way so that they can be implemented
into 8 bit processor.
=> Making the test bed for simulating designed protocol.
=> Analyzing the possible faults use for different attacks and try
to prevent them.

Title Speech Recognition HTK development(mainly Hcopy)
-----
Technology Used HMM (Hidden Markov Model), C,C++
---------------
Organization Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
------------
Guide Dr. P.K. Das
-----
Description
-----------
This project was a team work in which HTK developing
using HMM for making it use full for common user. My
work was related to main toolkit HCopy. The purpose
of Hcopy is copying one or more data files to a
designated output file, optionally converting the data into a
parameterized form. While the source files can
be in any supported format, the output format is always HTK.
By default, the whole of the source file is copied to the
target but options exist to only copy a specified segment.
Hence, this program is used to convert data files of other
formats to the HTK format, to concatenate or
segment data files, and to parameterize the result.
Responsibilities
----------------
=> To Document the whole code for common user purpose.
=> To make changes in code so that the way of taking input can
change such that there will not have any further requirement of
knowing typical process for user mainly for blind people

#4.FINDING A MINIMUM ENCLOSING POLYGON WITH SPECIFIED ANGLES FOR
ANOTHER POLYGON :-
----------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract:
---------
To devise a linear time algorithm to find minimum enclosure of
a given polygon with another polygon of specified interior
angles. Started with taking simple cases like rectangle as an
enclosure and then developed a code to find the area of non
overlapping portion between given polygon and the enclosure.
The area was minimized by rotating the enclosure with some
angle. The result found out was that at least one edge of
given polygon should be flushed with one edge of the enclosing
polygon.
