Research Projects:
Decentralized Cab Sharing System Using Blockchain
Problem Statement: Traditional cab sharing systems suffer issues like high transaction costs, privacy concerns, and inefficient ride matching due to centralized control.
- Implemented a peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology to enable direct interaction between riders and drivers without intermediaries.
- Utilized smart contracts to automate ride matching, fare calculation, and payment settlement, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
Outcome: Achieved a 25% reduction in transaction costs and a 40% improvement in ride matching efficiency.
Blockchain-based Decentralized Cloud Storage System
Problem Statement: Conventional cloud storage platforms face hurdles including elevated expenses, privacy vulnerabilities, and centralized governance, thereby sparking apprehensions regarding data security and operational inefficiencies in data administration.
- Led the design and successful deployment of an Ethereum-based blockchain network, streamlining processes of file storage, retrieval, and access management, guaranteeing clarity and safeguarding data transactions.
Outcome: Enhanced data integrity by 30% and decreasing operational costs by 15% through streamlined transactions.
Blockchain-based Distributed Application for Healthcare System
Problem Statement: Current healthcare frameworks have obstacles such as exorbitant expenses, privacy apprehensions, and centralized oversight, resulting in inefficiencies in patient care and raising doubts regarding the security of sensitive data.
- Established a decentralized network with smart contracts to automatize operations such as patient record administration, appointment coordination, and billing processes, guaranteeing precision and openness in healthcare transactions.
Outcome: Realized a 30% decrease in transaction expenses coupled with a 50% enhancement in response time for patient record management.
