I am Nikhilesh Kruthiventi, pursuing Masters in Computer Science at University of Southern California. My areas of interest are Algorithms and Distributed Systems. I am currently working with a team that uses wireless capabilities and accelerometers of the SunSPOT platform to record and recognize human gestures for command and control applications. Users with limited mobility often have difficulty using traditional computer input devices such as keyboards and mice. Our gesture recognition framework, which we call the SunSPOT Framework and Language for Action Recognition, or SunFLARE, will allow users to dynamically capture movements that they are capable of making (tailoring to a number of physical disabilities) and associate these movements with actions. The academic course work and teaching experience for one year have helped me extensively explore various facets of software product development. I believe that an internship at your organization would give me an opportunity to acquire industry level experience in software product development. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Nikhilesh Kruthiventi.
