All Models Are Wrong, But Some Are Useful.https://ankibues.github.io/posts/blog2/Fri, 14 Jan 2022 23:49:25 +0530https://ankibues.github.io/posts/blog2/Very often during our casual chats, my friend and I come across this conversation. She asks me, “Who do you think you are, mister?”, and I jokingly reply to her, “I am the Universe!”. And we laugh it away. But, there seems to be a certain truth about that statement. From a perspective, I am the Universe. And so are You. Our scientific understanding of the universe tells us the story of how the big bang created this spacetime continuum, which seems to be billions of years old.https://ankibues.github.io/posts/blog1/Fri, 07 Jan 2022 23:49:25 +0530https://ankibues.github.io/posts/blog1/How Emotional Are You? To answer this question, let’s play a quick game: As you read this line, close your eyes for 10 seconds and think of the names of all kinds of emotions you have ever felt . For example, ‘anger’ and ‘joy’ are two such emotions. Try out this activity. Think of all the emotion concept names you can think of. Don’t scroll down till you have thought of the answer!https://ankibues.github.io/posts/welcome/Sat, 01 Jan 2022 23:49:25 +0530https://ankibues.github.io/posts/welcome/I decided to give myself a new year gift of a personal website, a digital place where I can share my ideas, learnings, lessons, innovations, art, music and whatever there is to offer. After a whole lot of procrastinating, I decided to try out the new website in Hugo. Starting with a pretty simple theme , I intend to modify it to create something of my own. This is a digital place of freedom and I will talk about everything I can: geology, math, guitar, philosophy, writing or tech stuff.https://ankibues.github.io/about/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://ankibues.github.io/about/With over 4 years of experience in research and teaching followed by 2 years in educational technology industry, Ankit builds educational technology at BhandLab.

This poses major problems in routine use of pressure as a proxy for depth in geodynamic models. Ankit developed and applied physics-based numerical models to simulate pressure deviation in a rheologically distinct rock element in an ambient rock medium of a non-linear viscous anisotropic rheology.https://ankibues.github.io/projects/SoftwareDevelopment/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://ankibues.github.io/projects/SoftwareDevelopment/Software Development Link to heading QuestEd: Link to heading QuestEd is an open-source educational technology platform enabling instructors to craft story-driven, gamified learning experiences with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Instructors can create interactive gamified learning experience by adding keywords or even a lesson plan (in the form of pdf, or document file). Using generative AI, QuestEd develops a story-based learning experience called Quest, that can be accessed by a learner.https://ankibues.github.io/projects/Test%20Automation/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://ankibues.github.io/projects/Test%20Automation/Test Automation Link to heading Ankit worked as a Quality Assurance Engineer at YuJa. With manual testing of software and hardware application already in practice, he led the automation development to meet the growing needs of testing at YuJa. This involved developing automated test cases for YuJa EVP, which is a web-based platform that enables educational institutions to store, manage, distribute and stream media content. This project utilized Selenium based TestNg framework in Java for automating the test scenarios such as uploading video/audio files, perrform certain types of actions on media files, creating different types of users, etc.
