Tree Public Foundation (NGO), Pune, India Nov 2014 – Feb 2015 Core Team Member
Responsible for planning and implementation of large scale tree plantation as well as sustaining them.
Designed environment related activities for MNCs, children and citizens
Part of communication and coordination team
Connected to CSR/HR heads and setup meetings
Shreeji Aqua Treatment Pvt. Ltd., Pune, India Jul 2013 – Jun 2014 Hardware Engineering Intern
Implemented and Designed PLC based automation for Water Treatment Plant. Studied Process Measurement, Instrumentation and Control of electronically controlled Water Treatment Plant
Design included monitoring and controlling the processes involved in water-level, PH and flow measurements on the sensors and PLC panel.
Part of procurement team that purchased the required sensors and switches ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
“8 TO 16 GHz Broadband Amplifier Design Using Balanced Configuration” Aug 2016 – May 2017
Designed a Broadband Amplifier using Balanced configuration to operate at octave-bandwidth of 8GHz – 16GHz having gain >10dB
The simulation and optimization has been done using AWR Microwave Office
“Error Detection using FCS Algorithm” Sep 2016 – Nov 2016
The project demonstrates error detection in received bits in the Data Link Layer using the Frame Check Sequence algorithm. The simulation is done in JAVA.
The project is divided into three parts - Generator, Verifier and Alter. The Generator reads input and the generator pattern. The Verifier checks if the Generator is error free. The Alter introduces error in the generated pattern and verifies the working of the algorithm. PUBLICATIONS:
