      Developed a QSPR model from Support Vector Mechanism (SVM). Using this model, I calculated the maximum absorption wavelength of various organic dyes predicted from their descriptors. Finally, I used Artificial Neural Network and Principal Component Analysis to validate the results with that of SVM. The motivation for this project was to predict the maximum absorption wavelength value of a compound which is yet to be synthesized. This project helped me to understand the significance of simulation modeling. Show less

The program also provides avenues to discuss and work on relevant issues, through focused group discussions, field visits, workshops, ideation sessions and lectures.One of the critical aspects of the Policy BootCamp is to facilitate the career building of the youth, along the lines of nation-building. This was successfully achieved by engaging the delegates with MPs, State Governments, Think Tanks and Grassroots Organizations.I recommend this program to individuals who wants to make a career in public policy, engage with the government and work in the public/development sector.
