ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Classification & Modeling of Electroencephalogram (EEG) Signals Fall 2013

Developed an algorithm to classify event related potentials of motor imagery data using Linear

Discriminate Models (LDMs), Local Level Model (LLM) and Support Vector Machine (SVM).

MATLAB was used for the classification, modeling and final presentation of data.

Created vectors of both mean and variance from the given 20 learning trials. Optimized parameters

and classified the new data into new classes using SVM algorithm on the training data.

Digital instrume nt for Venous Muscle Pump Test Spring 2012

Instrument was designed to measure Venous Refilling Time (VRT), Muscle Pump Capacity (MPC)

and Pulse Rate during a Venous Muscle Pump Test (VMPT).

Signal proportional to the blood volume changes was acquired and processed usi ng an IR sensor (IR

LED and IR Photodiode) and PIC16F877A- a microcontroller based digital controller unit for data

acquisition and processing.

Programmed the microcontroller in C (and mikroC) and displayed results on 16x2 LCD .

Stress Meter for the Human Body Fall 2010

A working model of a stress meter which detects stress levels using skin resistance measured by touch

pads placed on human body.

Obtained variable voltage outputs based on the skin's conductivity using an IC CA3 140 (IC1), a

resistance- to- voltage converter. Generated logarithmic output through LED indications using IC

LM3915 (IC2).

EXPERIENCE

Aug 2014 – Present

Visiting Researche r, Boston University

Design and develop a hardware and software system t hat provides a case- specific, accurate trajectory

to the lateral ventricles for EVD catheter placement, especially in patients with abnormal brain

anatomy, in an ICU setting.

Collected, analyzed and, summarized the data from CT scans using RadiAnt DICOM viewer. The

location of foramen of monro o f patients with abnormal brain anatomies was determined.

April – Jun 2014

Research Intern, Northeastern Unive rsity

Investigating neural correlates o f the speech envelope in competing talker conditions of listening

using EEG.

Worked on spectral shaping of audio signals to provide sufficient gain for the hearing impaired

population.

Collected, analyzed and, s ummarized the behavioral and EEG data using t he M ATLAB interface.

Jun – Dec 2013

Lab Assistant, Boston University

Responsible for Electronics Lab equipment.

In charge of Under- Grad students’ lab needs, this ranged from building circuits to scope set ups to

reviewing lab results.

In charge o f faulty instruments’ repair and sale of electronic parts in the lab.

Jun – Aug 2012

Tutor, Vikasa Vidya Vana m

Taught Science and Math to high school kids of grades 7, 8 and 9.

Motivated them and guided them through various practical assignments, tests and projects.

Jun – Nov 2011

Clinical Intern, Ganga Medical Cente r

Investigated various medical devices from different departments of a multi- specialized hospital

including Intensive Care Unit, Operation Theatre and Radiology Department.

Had direct hands- on use of various medical devices such as X- ray, EEG, ECG, CT, MRI, Pulse

Oximeter, and Spirometer.

Research I ntern, Efftronics May 2010

Worked in the R&D department where my primary focus was on the designing and testing of diverse

interfaces and applications from conceptualization to first stage implementation.

Successfully completed assignments on designing and testing the LED lights which are prominently

used in traffic signal lights.
