• Provided technical support to students for different tools and software’s such as Magic, LTSpice, MATLAB, Quartus II and QuartusLite 16.0, TCAD(Silvaco). Gave demo lectures on VHDL and Verilog language for SoPC/FPGA based design examples using QuartusLite 16.0. Graduate Research Assistant, Texas A&M University, Kingsville, TX January 2016- December 2016

• Developed Pervoskite Solar Cell using TCAD(Silvaco), basically a Tandem Solar Cell where Perovskite Solar Cell is place on top of the Silicon Solar Cell (Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Solar Cell) with Dr. Amit Verma.

• Worked on the external quantum efficiency, of Hybrid Model Using TCAD(Silvaco). Scrutinized its effect when coated on Silicon. THESIS

Reconfigurable Hardware Architecture for Non-Stationary Face Detection

• Hardware Architecture was designed to study computer vision task on FPGA.

• Generated and synthesized the VHDL model to detect and track the movements of face to control the movement of motor on Xilinx Zync XC7Z020- 1CLG484 FPGA.

• Xilinx ISE 14.2 design tool was used to design the prototype. Video frames were given as an input. Color space conversion, skin detection, erosion technique was implemented to detect face region.

• Line Buffer was used to store the results if face is detected and signal was passed to motor controller so that motor can take appropriate decision.

• Generated RTL hardware schematic for the face detection and motor controller and simulations were carried out using ISim Simulator. PROJECTS

A Controller Design for Vending Machine using FSM in an Altera Quartus 16.0 using FPGA Device

• Designed the finite state machine of 8 states for the vending machine in QuartusLite 16.0 by using Cyclone V FPGA device.

• Synthesized and produced the VHDL model as well as the RTL hardware schematic for the controller and simulations were carried out using ModelSim. 4:1 Multiplexer using IP catalog of Altera Quartus 16.0 & ModelSim

• Generated a VHDL as well as Verilog model using IP catalog of Ouartus 16.0, where IP’s of 2-input adder, subtractor, multiplier, divider was used to develop 4:1 Multiplexer and synthesized and simulated in QuartusLite 16.0 and ModelSim. A Behavioral Model of Pipelined 3rd Degree Polynomial Evaluator Using Altera Quartus II & ModelSim

• Designed a VHDL model using pipeline architecture for 3rd degree polynomial evaluator which evaluates any 3rd degree polynomial which uses pipeline internal register which enhanced the performances.

• Tested the 3rd degree cosine function using pipeline architecture using ModelSim and Synthesis the pipelined architecture in Quartus II. 8-Bit Ripple Carry Adder Using Magic and LTSpice

• Designed 8-Bit Ripple Carry Adder using Magic Layout Design Simulator using hierarchy cell of inverter, NAND, NOR, Transmission gate.

• Extracted the Netlist from Magic at each hierarchy level in LTSpice software and measured the performance at each level of adder. Self –Balancing Rideable Scooter (Final Year Project)

• This project is based on Mechatronics concept. The model of this scooter is like Segway but it has the seating facility especially for handicapped and senior citizen to travel.

• A user commands the Scooter to go forward by shifting their weight forward on the platform and backward by shifting their weight backward.

• The Scooter detects, as it balances, the change in its center of mass, and first establishes and then maintains a corresponding speed, forward or backward. Heart beat Monitor using Intel MCS-51

• Our heart is a muscle, and its job is to pump blood throughout our body, and that makes the blood volume inside the finger artery to change. The device senses this change from the fingertip using IR reflection method and displays it on the LCD in beats per minute. PCB layout was designed using EAGLE. Developed 3x3x3 Led Cube using IC555 and IC4020

• This project drives 3x3x3 cube consisting of 27 Blue LEDs. The 4020 IC is a 14 – stage binary counter with 9 outputs and produces 512 different patterns. Each output drives 3 blue LEDs in series. Designed PCB layout for Circuit using EAGLE software. Developed and showcased “Live Color”

• This project was developed as my area of interest and showcased at’ A National level Project Competition ‘Institute of Engineers’. Guess the Number Using Python
