Projects Spring

Project Management - Big Data

2014

• Applied PMBOK knowledge areas to effectively manage projects on Big Data and several case studies

• Collaborated on group assignments using Microsoft Project

Project on Network Security

Fall 2013

• Created a virtual environment and tested firewalls and intrusion detection systems from exposing

vulnerabilities against penetration testing, brute-force and phishing attacks

• Used Wireshark and SiLK to analyze packets and profile the subnet

TCP Performance over Wimax Networks

Fall 2013

• Simulated single-node Wimax network using network simulator 2 and implemented TCP snoop and sack

• Evaluated and compared their performance to normal TCP in terms of delay, bit error rate and number of

packets

Spring

LTE Simulation on Matlab

2013

• Integrated LTE toolbox with matlab and simulated physical layer features such as eNodeB configuration,

resource grid generation, OFDM modulation and fading channel

• Other simulations include configuration of sounding reference signal, channel estimation and equalization,

downlink conformance test and time difference of arrival of received signals

Spring 2013

Project on Computer Networking

• Implemented networking fundamentals such as: ethernet and wireless LANs, IP address planning and

subnetting, NAT and DHCP; routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF and BGP and application layer protocols

like HTTP, DNS and VoIP

• Performed using cisco routers, dell switches and linux machines

Fall

VoIP Network Simulation

2012

• Emulated a VoIP network with G.711 and G.729 codecs and analyzed their effects on packetization and

bandwidth requirements

• Worked with Cisco Call manager and Avaya H.323 IP PBX to visualize IP call flow and processing

802.11 Radio Propagation Models

Fall 2012

• Computed received signal strengths of wifi signals in home and office environments with various obstructions

• International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and Joint Technical Committee (JTC) radio propagation

models were utilized to model and benchmark accuracies of line of sight and non-line of sight path losses

Summer

Location-Based Navigation on Basic Cell Phones

2011

• Developed an alternate navigation system using short messaging service (SMS) feature of regular cell

phones, assisted with location feedback shared by requesting users

• Implemented using a GSM modem interfaced to an ATmega32 microcontroller through which location based

service messages was sent and received
