Latest Independent Research & Innovations (2026)

  • No-HBM Virtual Ultra Ethernet Test: Designed an HBM-free, affordable Ultra Ethernet Transport (UET) test compliance framework utilizing FPGA arrays, deterministic PRBS payloads, state hashing, and vRDMA. [Maths Simulation on Github] [Medium]
  • No-Touch No-GPU Real-Time AI for Legacy Infra: Proposed an AI framework executing sub-microsecond real-time anomaly detection. Employs a cache-coherent architecture using DPDK SmartNICs, CXL 3.1, Ultra Ethernet, and line-rate L2 MACsec control loops to bypass OS kernel bottlenecks with zero disruption to live traffic. [Maths Simulation on Github] [Medium]
  • ALP (अल्प) – Adaptive Little Language Protocol: Devised a unified, AI-inherent symbolic communication framework ensuring robust intent delivery across highly restricted bandwidth and fragile channel conditions. [Simulation on Github] [Medium]
  • NTN Sustainability Control: Developed an Edge AI and gRPC-based distributed control layer designed to activate Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) under sustained 6G Sustainability (environmental/network) stress. [Dockerized Proto on Github] [Medium]
