*** *. *** ******, ****, PA 16502 201-***-**** **************@*****.***

OBJECTIVE:

To obtain a summer 2014 internship in the field of electrical engineering

EDUCATION:

Pursuing a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Anticipated: Dec. 2014

Concentration: Electronic Communications GPA: 3.8

Gannon University, Erie, PA

Bachelor of Electronics and Communications Engineering May 2013

Vishnu Sree Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, India

GRADUATE COURSEWORK:

Digital Communications Digital Signal Processing Digital Control

Digital Image Processing Advanced Engineering Analysis Embedded C

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

Embedded C, basics of MASM and MATLAB and Microsoft Office

GRADUATE PROJECTS:

Title/Course: Face Matching System/Digital Image Processing Spring 2014 - Present

Role/Team Size: Leader/Two

Description: Design program using MATLAB to automatically interpret digital images. Utilize webcam to record students’ faces in any workplace/classroom and images are filtered from the existing database for recognition.

Title: Transmitter Design System Spring 2014 - Present

Team Size: Two

Description: Designed transmitter using MATLAB to send text as analog input data in the form of a wave. The goal is to convert analog information into digital information using quantization and amplitude modulation techniques for digital communication system design.

UNDERGRADUATE PROJECTS:

Title: Foot Step Power Generation System Applications for Rural Areas to Run AC and DC Loads Spring 2013

Team Size: Two

Applications: Agriculture, home and street lighting, emergency power failure situations, and metro and rural areas

Software: Keil software for C programming

Description: Generated power through non-conventional method by using footsteps as power source; converted mechanical method to electrical. The goal was to utilize waste energy from footsteps to generate power (force energy) using electronic senses that are underground. Microcontroller AT89S52 was used to display the amount of battery that is charged when foot is placed on electric sensor. The advantage of this is less consumption of non-renewable energy and it is eco-friendly.

Title: Automatic Street Light On-Off Toggling Based on Time and Season Conditions Fall 2012

Team Size: Two

Applications: Roadway and parking lot lighting, outdoor advertising signs, and streetlight panels

Hardware/Software: RTC, microcontroller, streetlight, power supply/ Keil software for C programming

Description: Designed a circuit using an integrated circuit and microcontroller AT89S51 (8 bit) to control switching of streetlights according to day/night. This eliminates need for human operation of lighting and saves power. The RTC is interfaced with a microcontroller to communicate time information.
