She was the organizing committee member of International Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (ICSCI) held under the aegis of the company. Earlier, she was Research Assistant in Staffordshire University, England from May 2011- October 2012. Prashanthi's main research activity was in Signal Sparsification with Discrete Rajan Transform (DRT): Principles, Properties and Applications. The advent of Compressive sensing technique has led to having sparse representation of a signal to be an important criterion. Having such sparse representations has wide applications in fields like signal analysis and representation, image processing, speech processing and many other such fields. This study aimed at introducing Generalized Discrete Rajan Transform (DRT) as a potential sparsifying transform. The results point towards the success of DRT in achieving higher degree of sparsity. One application in this context is Speaker Recognition Using Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCCS).
