ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Real Time2-D Audio Source Localization using TDOA, GCC-PHAT Algorithm in TI’s 320C6713DSK ( in C) Spring 2009

• Submitted a report and a presentation on the implementation of the localization of multiple sound sources, using an intuitive visual display (in LABVIEW), to represent the angles and sources from the given audio signals.

Retrieval of the Embedded Watermark Signal from the audio file in TI’s 320C6713DSK ( in C) Spring 2009

• Retrieved the embedded watermark signal from the given audio file by extracting the DC component after taking the 128-point FFT of blocks of the given audio signal.

Array Signal Processing Via Multi-Channel WIENER Filtering (in MATLAB) Spring 2009

• Performed enhancement of signal suppressing noise and interference using an array of sensors.

Adaptive Signal Processing for a MIMO Communications System (in MATLAB) Spring 2009

• Investigated the performance of a MIMO Communications’ system under both static and time varying channel conditions using MMSE, LSE and LMS algorithms.

Tracking Spacecraft Signals during entry, descent and landing with Adaptive Linear Prediction (in MATLAB) Spring 2009

• Analyzed the performance of the adaptive frequency tracking schemes in terms of the root mean-square (RMS) frequency estimation error.

Source Separation via Adaptive Noise Canceling (in MATLAB) Spring 2009

• Separated multi-media source data, i.e. voice signal, from a binary data stream vi adaptive processing

Building a Digital Communication System (in MATLAB) Fall 2008

• Implemented the transmitter, receiver, and an AWGN channel. Developed a sample-based simulation where the transmitted symbols were oversampled. The results were generated for 2-, 4-, 8-PAM and 4-QAM.

Digital Image Processing Projects (in C++) Fall 2008

• Implemented Digital Watermarking, Image Enhancement and Noise Removal on colored and grayscale images.

• Analyzed and performed Basic & Advanced Edge Detection, Morphological Processing and Digital Halftoning algorithms.

• Reported results on Geometric Transformation &Spatial Warping, Texture Classification & Segmentation and OCR.

Removing Periodic Interference in Binary Communications from a Speech Signal (in MATLAB) Summer 2008

• Removed the periodic interference which adversely affected the demodulation of a binary communication signal using Notch Filtering.

Tracking Spacecraft Signals during the entry, descent and landing with Digital Spectrum Analysis (in MATLAB) Summer 2008

• Tracked the carrier signal transmitted from the spacecraft during EDL with a Fourier Transform-based, open loop tracking technique.

Client Sever communication using Socket Programming (in C++) on UNIX, OPNET and ETHEREAL Fall 2007

• Simulated transfer, routing and verification of fragmented messages over TCP / UDP sockets in a network with client-server architecture with multiple forked clients in C++.

• Simulated local Area Networks such as Ethernet (Both Shared and Switched) and Routing Algorithms including RIP and OSPF and their performances were evaluated using OPNET.

• Monitored protocols such as HTTP, TCP, IP and ARP using Ethereal

EXTRA_CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

• Participated in various Sudoku Solving, Acting, Debating Competitions, and Essay Writing and Skit contests.

• Won “Memento” for acting, as one of the participants for a Theater Group in Dubai.
