Teaching Assistant, San Diego State University, San Diego Aug 2016-May 2017

Assisting faculty with research and preparation of course materials.

Analyze class performance and design various methodologies for growth of students.

Sansui Electronics Private Limited, Electronic Assembler Intern, Pune May 2014-Aug 2014

Designed and assembled load cell units used in weighing machines.

Fabricated electronic soldering and testing activities.

Optimized the performance of the load cells.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Designed a QPSK and OFDM Modem (Platform: MATLAB) September 2016- November 2016

Designed a Modulator, frequency Lock Loop, timing recovery loop, phase recovery loop and an equalizer using the adaptive algorithms- Least Mean Square and Recursive Least Square algorithms to cancel the cross talk and channel noise.

Implemented QPSK modulator with the help of a Square root Nyquist filter.

Designed OFDM packet to comprise of a cyclic prefix, a long preamble and a short preamble.

Wireless controlled Quadcopter (Platform: C, MATLAB) August 2014-May 2015
