  Nov 2023 - Dec 2023

  Project Intern

  •Enhanced Flight Data Understanding: During my internship at the Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO), I contributed to a project that involved developing a Python application using Matplotlib and Tkinter. This application aimed to transform raw flight data into dynamic, non-real-time visualizations. This experience helped me gain a better understanding of how data visualization can be used to improve the comprehension of complex information. •Improved Monitoring Capabilities: The application I helped develop allowed for live plotting of sensor data. This resulted in an estimated 33% increase in monitoring efficiency for the project. I was grateful to be involved in a project that had a tangible impact on the team's ability to monitor and analyze data in real-time. •Facilitated Data Analysis and Collaboration: The visualizations offered by the application allowed for easier comparison of different flight parameters. This facilitated data analysis by team members and potentially contributed to a more efficient data review process. •Streamlined Data Sharing and Documentation: The application allowed users to export visualizations as JPEG files. This feature offered a simple and effective way to share data with others for review and documentation purposes. Overall, this internship provided me with valuable insights into the role of data visualization in scientific research and development. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a project with a larger purpose.•Development: I used Python libraries (pandas, Tkinter, Matplotlib) to create a flight data visualization app. Pandas helped me understand the data, while Tkinter built the user interface. Matplotlib enabled informative visualizations for flight performance analysis. Show less
