    The research is mainly focused towards the following areas:
  1. Presently I am working to understand the Impact of BlockChain on the HealthCare System.
  2. Develop a new Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Recently developed a model to reduce the number of features and achieve maximum classification performance. Uncertainty of feature selection in high dimensional big data is solved by fuzzy rule binary PSO (FRBPSO). Local optimization is solved by two phases ternary PSO (TP-TPSO) and Newtonian PSO.
  3. Developed a new method to reduce the software testing efforts. Recently developed a methodology to find the fault using pre-development phase software faulty module prediction (PDSFP), during development phase software fault prediction (DPSFP) and post development phase software fault detection (PDSFD).
