execution and prototype development and packaging of wireless medical

devices

. Worked on PAN radio technologies like Bluetooth V2, ANT, ZigBee,

SimpliciTi for wireless transmission with ultra low power MSP430

microcontroller platform powered by energy harvesting modules. Designed a

PCB for prototyping purposes

. Worked on wireless temperature sensor network using the EZ430RF2500 kit

of Texas Instruments

. Performed antenna designs, data rate, range testing, circuit analysis and

prototype development of physiological sensors

. Test bed creation and experimentation with robustness, packet loss and

reliability of wireless transmission

. Introducing wireless communication in device platforms as well as

miniaturization of the electronic footprint in existing devices

Hardware Engineer, Larsen & Toubro Limited, Powai, India.

(May 2007-May 2008)

. Project 'Intelligent Electronic Device Communication Over GSM' with text

to voice conversion features for error messages

. Role: Developed a cost effective simplex mode of communication over GSM

modem where the error message is converted from text to voice form

and then transmitted to the cellular phone of the user. Accordingly a

feedback is received from the user
