WORK HISTORY
Graduate Research Assistant, August 2015 – May 2016 School of Business, George Mason University
My duty was to extract specific data about different companies and their directors over a range of time from the web sites, which was used for analyzing the market trend of those companies. ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Broadband Internet System for Internet Service Providers in Central Africa The Prime Idea of the project was to deliver a telecom network to a developing part of the world for the purpose of providing broadband internet access. My main duty includes Operations part of the network. It includes analyzing the marketing strategy and sales procedure of our competitors in the market. It also includes Maintenance of the network and Human Resource Management, Marketing, Billing and Analyzing the competitors, customers and customer service.
Smart Dine (Project related to Internet of Things) We provided a complete automated Internet of Things (IoT) solution for Restaurant owners to remotely monitor and manage the entire system anytime. My responsibilities include project fund management; Responsible for co-ordination in the team and documentation.
Schedulability Analysis for Hard Network Lifetime Wireless Sensor Network Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are to be designed in such a way that they are feasible and energy competent communication conventions to reduce the energy consumption as much as possible.
My prime duty was to implement a cluster-based scheme for this problem. The scheme is an extension to High Energy First (HEF) clustering algorithm and allows multi-hop transmissions between the clusters by integrating the selection of collective sending and receiving nodes. This scheme extends the network lifetime with 75% of nodes remaining alive.
