I worked with the Structural
         Informatics Group, at the University of Washington Medical
         Center, on The Digital Anatomist Information System project
         . 
         
         
My initial work involved getting
         familiarised with the various components of the system like
         the Founadational Model of Anatomy, which forms the basis of
         the system. For the first few weeks I worked the Digital
         Anatomist Image Collection Manager. The Image Manager is an
         interface for the user(medical students,anatomy teachers and
         of course an inquisitve layman) to store, browse a varied
         collection of anatomical imges. I worked on adding a new
         functionality of the system. 
         
         
Moving on, I got very interested in
         working on Content based Image Retrieval. Prof. Shapiro is
         an expert in the area, and since the project at that momet
         was dealing with images and 3 D models, I decided to create
         an Interface to the Image database, which would retrive
         images based on the content and not only on the 'name ' by
         which they were stored. This required Image
         Prcessing.
         
         
At University of Washington, an
         Undergraduate Research Symposium is organised for the summer
         students working at various labs, we summarise and present
         our work there. I participated in the symposium and
         presented my work.
