Dharitri Tripathy Discusses Her Research in the Applied Computer Science Graduate Program
Recently, Dharitri Tripathy, a graduate student in the Applied Computer Science and Society program, chatted with the Faculty of Graduate Studies about their research and paper titled: "EEG Signal Processing in Python for Practical Clinical Applications".
Can you tell me a bit about yourself, your graduate program and what you are conducting your thesis research on?
I am a graduate student in Applied Computer Science. I currently am pursuing my masters degree under supervision of Professor Dr. Sergio Camorlinga.
We are doing research on brain signal that analyze brain activities of an individual doing certain task or any cognitive tasks. We basically assess different signal pattern to understand brain functions related to task or certain brain signal arising due to tasks performed by an individual.
What have you enjoyed the most about the Applied Computer Science and Society graduate program?
I mostly enjoyed the academic setup that University of Winnipeg has. Computer science department has a lot of opportunity when it comes to research. My special thanks to my supervisor Professor Sergio whose constant guidance has helped me a lot during my research.
Last Summer, you presented your research paper titled: "EEG Signal Processing in Python for Practical Clinical Applications" at the 2nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. What was your paper about, and what did you enjoy the most about sharing your research?
Last Summer, I presented my research paper titled: "EEG Signal Processing in Python for Practical Clinical Applications" at the 2nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. My paper was about how to use open source computer programming language to develop applications for understanding brain signals. That way poor countries can gain from these applications and it can contribute to research community. I enjoyed working in brain research area the most as it is very demanding and still a lot of open research problem are there. I was happy to contribute to the research community by doing research in this field.
What are your plans for the Summer?
In summer, I am going to work on my research further to complete the goals for my thesis. Currently, I am analyzing the impact of alcohol on human brain which seems very exciting to work on.
That sounds like a busy Summer! Thanks again for chatting with us!
