I have received and completed many Sponsored and Consultancy Projects during my tenure at IIT Roorkee, since 1989. These include a consultancy project for developing a web portal and membership management software for IPPTA, Saharanpur; a consultancy project from Govt. of Uttaranchal, for developing their official website; from the AICTE, Govt. of India, a project entitled ‘LTAG based generation of Hindi sentences from English LTAGS’; DRDO Project on Development of an Integrated Knowledge Base and Natural Language Interface for Hydrological Data.

Currently, 5 students are enrolled as research Scholars with me. They are working in diverse areas, viz., machine learning techniques for predicting student potential in engineering, IoV Forensics, IoT Security, machine Learning techniques for automobile tyre health prediction, etc. I am open to taking a couple of more students in the area of IoT and Machine Learning.
