Research

Blinkwise Monitor

A Webcam-Based Eye-Aspect-Ratio System for Detecting Blink Suppression During Extended Screen Time

Independent Researcher · 2026 – Present

A webcam system using eye aspect ratio to detect blink suppression during extended screen time. Blink rate fell to 8.84 per minute beyond four hours. A timed break protocol cut strain 40.2%. Single-author manuscript, revise-and-resubmit at NHSJS.

S.T. Yau High School Science Award (Asia): Physics Finalist

Localisation Stability Locking in a Non-Reciprocal Elastic Chain: A Single-Parameter Locking Theorem and a Quantified Non-Normal Precursor

Co-author · Team of three, JPIS Jaipur · 2026

When a wave travels through a chain of masses and springs, it usually behaves the same in both directions. In a non-reciprocal chain, it doesn’t — energy localises asymmetrically. The paper proves a single-parameter condition under which that localisation locks into place, and quantifies the precursor that predicts it.

Selected for the Oral Defense round at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, 24 October 2026.

Netrix — Retinal Screening Device

Founder & Engineer · Jul 2025 – Present

Founder and engineer, Netrix. A smartphone attachment for retinal screening, under $80. Completed the optics and casing. Tested the prototype against three reference retinal cameras. Ran a community eye camp in Jangpura, Delhi, May 2026: about 150 attendees aged 50-plus, device tested alongside standard screening. Supported by the local MLA.

“I was glad to support her request to conduct the Netrix camp in our constituency, which turned out pretty successful gathering a footfall of ~150 patients in the 50+ years age group from underprivileged backgrounds.”Tarvinder Singh Marwah · Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), Jangpura, Delhi
