Overview
As a Research & Development Intern at Amity Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (AINST), Amity University Noida , I worked on the RADMAP project, contributing to the development of an intelligent radiation monitoring system.
My work involved integrating Raspberry Pi 5, LiDAR sensors, gamma spectroscopy, IoT devices and camera-based monitoring to build a prototype capable of detecting, visualizing and analyzing radiation data.
I also developed interactive monitoring dashboards, generated 2D radiation heat maps using radiation counts and gamma spectrum peaks, and contributed to the development of a 3D Digital Twin for environmental visualization.
