Internships and Academic Projects

• Computer Communication and Networks (Fall 2008)

• Successfully designed and implemented a Multi Client chat program, TFTP Server & HTTP

Proxy Server using socket programming in C.

• Analysed high speed TCP variants like BIC, CUBIC, PERT and H-TCP on NS-2.

• Developed and implemented an exhaustive search algorithm in C++ using Standard Template

Library (STL) to find out the optimum topology for a 7x7 network of communicating nodes with

the constraint that straight paths had a lower cost than turn paths.

• Wireless Sensor Networks (Fall 2009)

• Developed an algorithm for efficient aggregate computations in dense wireless sensor

networks which can be implemented above the MAC layer of 802.11.

• Developed an algorithm for optimal pre-fetching of data on Access Points in a vehicular Wi-Fi

network.

• Real Time Control System

• Performed distributed simulation of a power system on Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) by

implementing communication between RTDS and NI cRIO processor over local area network using

LabVIEW and C#. (Research at Power System Automation Lab, Aug’09 – May’ 10)

• Designed and developed an ECU which included a stepper motor drive along with a voltage feedback

control loop, using TI LF2407 DSP. Developed the complete firmware for the control unit in Assembly

language and later translated it into C. (Spring 2009)

• Successfully, designed and implemented Real Time MFLNN Controller on a Bytronic process control unit

including flow and level controls using MATLAB and C++ as final year bachelor’s project at NSIT-Delhi.

• Developed a software music decoder and synthesizer using MATLAB and C++. (Fall 2008)

• Internship at Honeywell Automation India Ltd. (Summer 2007)

• Designed a Distributed Control System (DCS) through Honeywell proprietary EXPERION PKS R300

software for Caustic Soda Plant. Designed control logic for filter sequences and assisted in preparation

of Hardware Design Manual (HDM)/(SDM) for the same.

Graduate Coursework
