Internships and Academic Projects

• Motor Control

• Successfully designed and developed a stepper motor drive along with a closed loop voltage feedback

control, using TI LF2407 DSP. Developed the complete firmware for the drive in Assembly language.

• Developed an 8-bit microcontroller based drive to generate PWM pulses for a BLDC motor. Worked

on both the hardware design and the firmware. Optimized the design to achieve high torque with

minimum power dissipation.

• 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#.

• 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.

• Successfully developed a programmable closed-loop temperature controller to uniformly raise and

lower the temperature of a water tank between user defined thresholds and with a user defined rate,

using an 8-bit Microcontroller.

• Implemented robust PID and adaptive controller designs using MATLAB and Simulink in course

projects.

• Computer Communication and Wireless Networks

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

using socket programming in C and analysed high speed TCP variants like BIC, CUBIC, PERT and H-TCP

on NS-2.

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

• Internship at Honeywell Automation India Ltd.

• 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

DSP Based Motion Control, Digital Signal Processing, Power Electronics, Motor Drive, Computer Relays,

Linear Control Theory, Robust Control Systems, Adaptive Control, Process Control, Computer

Communications and Networks, Wireless Sensors and Networks, Analysis of Algorithms.

Awards and achievements

• Awarded Research Assistantship during Fall-2009 at Texas A and M University.

• Awarded Scholarship for Fall-08 and Spring-09 at Texas A and M University.

• Certification of Excellence in design and working (2nd Prize) in ‘Robowars’ at Innovision’07, NSIT

technical festival.

• Won First Prize in “Auto-Combat” held in Electrical Engineering Deptt., during Innovision’06. The

objective of the competition was to design and construct a remote controlled vehicle.

• Academic Merit Scholarship, NSIT (Delhi University) for all years 2004 - 2008. Ranked 3rd in the

department at the end of bachelors.

Work Authorization: Eligible for practical training on OPT for 12 months. Require H1-B sponsorship in

future.
