Projects

*
SDN-based Instrusion Detection System (POX Controller)
This project involves the implementation of a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) using the POX controller. By leveraging the flexibility and programmability of SDN, the system aims to detect and mitigate network intrusions in real-time.
BLASter: A Compiler for C Code Optimization
Blaster is a source-to-source C compiler project designed to optimize linear algebra operations within C code, enhancing performance and efficiency. By automatically identifying and replacing naive implementations of vector/matrix operations with optimized CBLAS function calls.
Implementation of Centralized Scheduler in 6TiSCH Network Stack
A centralized MAC-layer scheduler was implemented within the 6TiSCH network stack using RIOT OS. The project focuses on ensuring reliable communication, deterministic timing, and low duty cycle in an IIoT context.
