Divyani Panda - Portfolio

Hi there! 👋

I'm a postgrad student at King's College London, pursuing an MSc in Advanced Computing, with a passion for AI, Deep Learning and Game Development.


My journey into the world of game development during college laid the foundation for a broader exploration into the realms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). My research now delves into AI, deep learning and automata learning applied to game mechanics. I'm also currently exploring the areas of cloud computing and big data analytics.

SCYTALE - AN EVOLUTIONARY CRYPTOSYSTEM

Published: 7 August, 2020

Journal: International Journal of Computer Science and Network, Volume 9, Issue 4

Authors: Unnikrishnan Menon, Atharva Hudlikar and Divyani Panda

With the advent of quantum computing, and other advancements in computation and processing capabilities of modern systems, there arises a need to develop new trapdoor functions that will serve as the foundation for a new generation of encryption schemes. This paper explores the possibility of one such potential trapdoor function using concepts stemming from Reversible Cellular Automata (RCA) -- specifically, the Critter's Rule set up in a Margolus Neighborhood. The proposed block encryption algorithm discusses how sensitive data can be manipulated and converted efficiently into a two dimensional sequence of bits, that can be iteratively evolved using the rules of the RCA and a private key to achieve a desirable level of encryption within a reasonable runtime. The performance benchmark and analysis results exemplify how well the proposed encryption algorithm stands against different forms of attacks.

DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF ELECTRIC BUS SYSTEMS FOR METROPOLITAN CITIES

Published: 26 October, 2020

Journal: SSRG International Journal of Mechanical Engineering 7(10), 16-23

Authors: Unnikrishnan Menon and Divyani Panda

Over the past decade, most of the metropolitan cities across the world have been witnessing a degrading trend in air quality index. Exhaust emission data observations show that promotion of public transport could be a potential way out of this gridlock. Due to environmental concerns, numerous public transport authorities harbor a great interest in introducing zeroemission electric buses. A shift from conventional diesel buses to electric buses comes with several benefits in terms of reduction in local pollution, noise, and fuel consumption. This paper proposes the relevant vehicle technologies, powertrain, and charging systems, which, in combination, provides a comprehensive methodology to design an Electric Bus that can be deployed in metropolitan cities to mitigate emission concerns.

Achievements

Testimonials

Divyani is a great security analyst and penetration tester to work with. I recently collaborated with her on a long-term project, and she very quickly learned to use the tools in our pentesting toolkit. She was thrown into our project and almost immediately began discovering critical vulnerabilities in our client's environment and creative ways to bypass existing security mechanisms. She is great at working with developers and security personnel alike to understand what is happening under the hood of an application, and I would gladly recommend her to any team looking for a smart security analyst that is able to quickly get up to speed and adapt as circumstances and environments change.
