ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:

University of Bridgeport, CT, USA - Graduation Date: December 2011

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with 3.68 GPA

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India - Graduation

Date: May 2009

Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communication Engineering with 3.61

GPA

COURSE WORK: Embedded Systems, RF CMOS VLSI, Nanotechnologies, Low power

VLSI, Digital Signal Processing, Speech Signal Processing, Modern Wireless

Communication Systems (3G, 4G, GPS, Bluetooth etc.), Analog VLSI, VLSI

Testing, Power Electronics, Computer Networks & Architecture, VHDL,

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

. MASTER THESIS: Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) based Arithmetic

and Logical Function Generator - A paradigm for Nano Computing. QCA

technology belongs to nano-electronics and is a potential successor

for CMOS transistor technology.

. FINAL YEAR GRADUATION PROJECT: Development of an Embedded Security

System for ATM using GSM. My work involved interfacing a GSM mobile

handset and an ATM card, using an ARM microcontroller to ensure secure

transactions.

. Database for Background Noise using Acoustic Parameters. This project

was targeted towards improving the performance of hearing aids. MATLAB

software is used to write the code and rain, restaurant, car samples

as background noise.

. Design 0.18 m technology MOSFET Low Noise Amplifier circuit. The main

objective is to design LNA by using only 0.18 m CMOS transistor

technology and prove the reliability of the design with best gain,

noise figure, s-parameters results. Used Agilent ADS software for

designing this RF CMOS VLSI project involving design of matching

circuits as well.

. Design and analyze both basic and advance two-stage Op-Amp circuit.

The main objective is to improve basic two-stage Op-Amp circuit by

reaching certain specifications. Mentor Graphics tools are used for

designing and analyzing the circuit.

. Design, Simulation and Analyze the Power Consumption for CMOS and

Domino Full Adder Circuit. This project employed PSPICE Simulations

tool with emphasis on ensuring low power.

. Conducted a project on Emotion recognition using MATLAB to understand

how various factors such as energy, formants etc effect emotion

recognition.
