PROJECTS:

. WIND TURBINE PITCH CONTROL: Designed and built a sustainable pitch

controlled wind turbine using anemometer to trigger the pitching

mechanism. Responsibilities included project management, modeling

Control and Tests of 3-blade Wind Turbines using AUTOCAD 2D and 3D,

Simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK, Designing all Circuitry and motor

control hardware and software using LM298 package and MSP430.

Completed assembly according to schematics and blueprints of auxiliary

power units which includes gearbox, turbine Plenum, starters motor and

embedded electronic components

. NARROWBAND RECEIVER: Designed and built an analog RF system with super

heterodyne typology to build a 50-55 MHz narrowband receiver using

COLPITTS oscillators and SA612 active Mixer. Incorporated analog front-

end, low-noise amplifiers, variable gain, anti-aliasing filters. Used

low-noise signal integrity techniques to design circuit boards.

Analyzed spectral data with MATLAB and Excel

. WIRE FOLLOWER ROBOT: Designed and built an automated system that used

CMOS current comparator and electromagnetic induction to autonomously

follow a 30 feet copper wire with random turns using Xilinx Spartan 3E

FPGA. Responsibilities included organizing engineering tasks,

programming microcontrollers and FPGAs, designing power, analog and

digital circuits, high-speed PCB layout, soldering and assembly of
