Current Research Projects

Early Prediction of Type-2 DM using CARI Dataset

Description: This project aims to create a predictive model for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) using the CARI dataset, which includes 40 features related to prameha purvarupa (subclinical features of diabetes) as documented in Ayurveda. The goal is to classify individuals into high-risk and low-risk categories using various supervised machine learning algorithms.

Status: Completed

Collaborators: Central Ayurveda Research Institute, Bengaluru

Modelling and Optimization of Transesterification Process for Biodiesel Production

Description: This project focuses on optimizing the transesterification process for biodiesel production from specific raw materials. By using regression techniques, the project aims to establish a predictive system that accurately assesses the response features of biodiesel production based on process parameters like catalyst concentration, time, temperature, and rotation speed.

Status: Completed

Collaborators: Not applicable

Building Machine Learning Approach for the Correlation of Supercapacitance Performance and Surface Properties of Activated Carbon Derived from Banana Stem Fiber

Description: This research explores the use of machine learning models to predict the supercapacitance performance of activated carbon derived from banana stem fiber. Various regression techniques, including linear regression, random forest regression, Lasso, and artificial neural networks, are used to analyze surface properties such as surface area, pore volume, and pore size.

Status: Completed
