A. Research - OO & Software Engineering
Research Objective: My current research involves development of new
algorithms for problems in representing Software Architecture, Components
based architecture, Reuse of Architectural components, Software Architecture
Implementation, Testing and Maintenance, Code Review, etc.
Research Topics: Current topics of interest include UML based OO Software
Architectural Modeling, Coupling and Cohesion in OO systems, OO Software
for Augmented Reality, Human Operating Systems, and Data Mining and Visualization
for Financial Engineering.
Research Accomplishments: Several OO based software architectures have
been derived.
My main contributions are:
1. Object Oriented Augmented Reality System: A new Animation Director
architecture has been developed which demonstrates the use of a whole-part
software architecture. This is developed to generate animations automatically
from any dataset. The salient features of the system includes modules to
handle disparate datasets, identification of algorithms to do feature extraction
from large data sets, generation of navigation paths and to finally generate
animations. The objective is to eliminate the human error or, in other
words, the system will help the human to arrive at intelligent decisions
in an efficient manner.
2. Object Oriented Human OS Architecture: Just as an OS is the life
of a computer, the human OS is the system that operates as the life for
a virtual human. The system integrates several parts to model, specifies
animation tasks, maintains constraint information and generates human-like
behavior.
3. Object Oriented FIDAVIS System: The FIDAVIS architecture encompasses
a suite of algorithms from Data Mining and Visualization into one system
to run on a shared address space system. The architecture currently supports
simple data mining support for Currency Forex and Volume Visualization
of Currency Fluctuations.
4. OO Internet Architecture: An internet architecture for all the above
three software systems have also been developed. This architecture combines
the recently identified method of using live data access and interactive
navigation for all the above three applications.
5. OO Visualization of Unstructured Grids: Core voxelization and volume
visualization algorithms have been implemented using OO mechanisms in C++.
The system has been in productive use since 1993.
B. Research - Graphics & Visualization
Research Objective: My research in graphics and visualization involves
development of new algorithms for problems in Volume Visualization,
3D Modeling and Graphics, Visual Simulation, Graphics Hardware
and Parallel Graphics Algorithms.
Research Topics: Current topics of interest include interactive and
immersive user interfaces, tools and techniques for interactive steering
of scientific and engineering applications, visualization methods for time-varying,
unstructured, and volumetric data, and parallel algorithms for visualization
and computer graphics.
Research Accomplishments: Several core algorithms for volume visualization
of unstructured grids have been developed and implemented.
My main contributions are:
1. Coherent Voxelization Algorithm: A new Coherent Voxelization Algorithm
has been developed which demonstrates that interactive volume rendering
of unstructured grids is possible. All objects in the grid are reduced
to voxels, and all the rendering is done on the voxel volume. The algorithm
is length, area and volume coherent and eliminates the need for sorting
of polyhedra before rendering. All computations are reduced to incremental
computations in one-dimensional space.
2. 3D Antialiasing Algorithm: Anti-aliased voxelization improves the
quality of the voxelized data, and is demonstrated using an accumulation
volume buffer (AVB) algorithm. A set of volume error measures (VEM) have
been developed to quantify the quality of voxel data.
3. Parallel Algorithms: The coherent voxelization algorithm is parallelized
to run on a shared address space system. Algorithms have also been developed
for fast rendering of voxelized data. A pseudo rotation algorithm and its
parallel implementation on shared address space systems is developed. This
algorithm integrated with a shared memory voxelization helps fast previewing
of unstructured grid. A new parallel algorithm for volume rendering based
on a 3D pyramid structure is developed for message passing systems.
4. Hardware Architecture: A hardware architecture for interactive volume
visualization of unstructured grids is also developed. This architecture
combines the recently identified method of using texture mapping for volume
rendering with anti-aliased voxelization.
C. Research - Financial Engineering
Research Objectives: The main objective of my research in financial
engineering is to develop algorithms for parallel implementation on HPC
systems related to financial engineering computations and to enhance Visualization.
Research Topics: Risk Metrics, Credit Exposure, Analytics Library,
Implementation using MPI on T3E and Cray/Origin 2000.
Research Accomplishments: Several parallel algorithms for financial
engineering have been developed and implemented.
My main contributions are:
1. Parallel Risk Metrics(for JP Morgan, Wall Street, New York): This
work focussed on the design and implementation of parallel algorithms for
financial engineering. We have successfully implemented algorithms for
the computation of Credit Exposure and Real-time Sensitivities. The algorithms
have been tested on a variety of commercial systems such as SGI Cray Origin
2000, Cray T3E, IBM SP2 and a cluster of SUN Sparc systems. We also explored
the possibility of using the parallel I/O library of the Cray T3E to remove
the I/O bottleneck.
2. FEVolumes - Financial Volume Visualization: Our goal of this
research is to demonstrate the feasibility of volume visualization for
financial engineering algorithms. We have achieved this using volume modeling
for a variety of FE Algorithms and show results of volume rendered images.
And we have also extended this modeling scheme to run on the Internet environment
with live access to realtime data. The system currently has been deployed
for production use in a real world Financial Engineering organization.
3. FIDAVIS Data Mining: This effort is to build an infrastructure for
Data Mining and Visualization for Financial Engineering.
4. Merlion: This system focusses on efficient computing and visualization
for Option Pricing and Visualization.

been developed and implemented.
My main contributions are:
1. Human Arm Animation Algorithm: A new geometric IK suitable for Arm
and Leg Animation has been developed for natural human animation.
2. LOA and LOG for Human Growth and Animation Modeling: New approaches
have been developed for Level of Animation and Level of Growth. LOG helps
to model the level of growth in humans.
3. Collaborative VR: Currently research is under progress to develop
a Collaborative Virtual environment for CAD/CAM applications.
E. Research - Web and Internet Technologies
Research Objective: Current topics of interest include use of Web based
techniques for virtually every application in graphics, modeling and visualization.
Research Problem: The main focus is to develop new representation schemes
for volume data on the internet, new protocols for graphics data interchange
on the Internet, new architectures for building very large repositories,
building innovative accident simulations for web deployment, etc.
Research Accomplishments: Almost all of our algorithms and architectures
that has been developed for different applications have been deployed on
the Web.
My main contributions are:
1. MPEG For Volume Viz: This application uses MPEG as a mechanism for
Volume Data Sharing on the Web.
2. Fin Viz on the Internet: This application extends Volume Visualization
of Fin Engg data on the Internet.
3. 3D Humanoids on the Internet: An architecture for 3D humanoids on
the internet has been developed.

in parallel for enhancing throughput.
My main contributions are:
1. Scientific Visualization in a Supercomputing Environment.
2. Algorithms using CMMD, PVM, MPI for message passing systems.
3. Algorithms using PowerC, MP Lib, Cilk for shared memory systems.
G. Research - Rapid Prototyping & CAD/CAM
Research Interests: Efficient algorithms and libraries for rapid prototyping
and CAD/CAM applications.
Research Problem: A pressing demand exists for high quality rendering
in CAD/CAM applications. Another problem exists in the display of CAD/CAM
data at constant time irrespective of the grid size. Also there is a greater
demand for efficient layered manufacturing.
Research Accomplishments: Efficient algorithms have been developed for
graphics modeling, rendering and rapid prototyping.
My main contributions are:
1. Graphics Modeling and Rendering: We have implemented efficient libraries
based on GKS and EDRAW for 2D and 3D graphics modeling. Also efficient
implementations of hidden element removal has been done for high
quality rendering.
2. Voxel Based 3D Modeling: Techniques have been developed for efficient
volumetric modeling. The modeling scheme also supports complex boolean
operations and integrated with a Geometric Workbench system.
