Professional Experience

Graduate Research Assistant, Trenchless Technology Center Jan 2011-

May 2012

Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, LA, USA

Project I: Practicum: A Microwave based near field imaging sensor for locating lateral

connections within buried pipelines

• Used Dip Trace Software to draw schematic and pcb layouts of the circuit required

• Ut ilized an open-ended rectangular waveguide to probe the surface of a pipeline

• Developed correlation based algorithm using Embedded C for signal processing

• Used CCStudio to code the microcontroller and to find the cross correlation of the

signals

Project II: Designing of level shifters using Op-amps for Microcontroller application

• Received the acoustic signal which has both positive and negative voltages from the

Acoustic sensor transducer

• Used LTspice IV software to design this circuit which converts any acoustic signal voltage

range of transducer to 0-3.3V

• As the sound waves are usually in the range of 0-20KHz the level shifter is designed to

work at this frequency – replace with opamp

Project III: Development of algorithm to extract statistical parameters from an acoustic

signal using C2000 microcontroller

• Developed an algorithm to find the statistical parameters of the practically generated

oscillating acoustic signal which is detected using acoustic sensor and dumped into C2000

F28069 microcontroller for the acoustic monitoring on the main cables of suspension bridges

• The software used to run the algorithm is Code Composer Studio v4

• Analysed the results using Matlab & C

Lecturer, Electronics & Communication Engg Dept. June 2009-

May 2010

Nova College of Engg and Tech for Women, India

• Made an effective contribution to teaching and learning in their discipline

• To supervise laboratories

• Providing approaches to learning that influence motivate and inspire students to learn.

Internship

Nestor, Hyderabad, India Dec 2008 –

May 2009

Modern Driverless Smart Train Stopping Between Two Busy Stations for Overload

Protection and Unmanned Railway Signal Crossing System

• Designed ‘Driver Less Train’ which is a prototype of an automated train with advance

features based on IR sensor circuits, RF TX and RX, LCD and dc-motors interfaced to

microcontroller (8051)

• Provided with several features such as t rain should t rack a particular path in i ts

movement and should stop automatically at each station, warning on limit cross,

automatic light control in the compartment, automatic voice announcements when it

is stopped at the stations, unmanned railway signal and t rack failure intimation to

t rain and nearby stations

Undergrad Projects
