20082012 Bachelor of Technology, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, CGPA 7.74 Electronics and Instrumentation. 20062008 XII, BJB Junior College, Bhubaneswar, CHSE State Board 70 %. 2006 X, Ruchika High School, Bhubaneswar, ICSE 95.2 %.

Thesis
Title Real Time Speaker Recognition on TMS320C6713 Supervisors Prof. Ayas Kanta Swain email swaina@nitrkl.ac.in Description The project identied a person on the basis of the information contained in speech. The Speaker identication was done by extracting voice features of signal using Mel frequency Cepstrum coecients. These extracted features were then matched with a set of speakers using a Vector Quantization approach.
