Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics Expected Graduation Fall 2025 PROJECTS

Drone Detection via Beamforming Roles & Responsibilities: Project Lead Jan. 2025 - Present

● Develop a hybrid detection system by combining Radio Frequencies (RF) beamforming with radar signal processing, optimizing Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for enhanced real-time target identification and tracking

● Utilize the Analog Devices CN0566 beamforming chip for enhance RF signal processing and direction-finding.

● Design and implement multi-element antenna arrays to optimize beamforming for drone tracking. FPGA-Based Random Sequence Memorization Menttal Roles & Responsibilities: Project Lead Jan 2025 - May 2025

● Developed 25+ FPGA Verilog modules to create a game with RNG, scoreboard, multi-user authentication, etc.

● Organized top/sub-level systems architecture using test benches to simulate timing diagrams on ModelSim software.

● Analyzed timing constraints and synthesized Verilog system architecture using Quartus Prime.

● Compiled a 60+ document on system architecture, modules, and simulation results. Anti-Theft Detection System Roles & Responsibilities: Project Lead June 2024 – Jan. 2025

● Developed an anti-theft system using Arduino, GPS, and GSM technologies, ensuring vehicle safety and security.

● Enabled real-time tracking capabilities, providing users with latitude and longitude coordinates of their vehicles with 90% accuracy.

● Integrated GSM functionality to enable two-way communication, allowing users to remotely control their vehicle via messages with features to stop or initiate tracking mode.

Arduino Drone Roles & Responsibilities: Project Engineer Feb. 2019 - Mar. 2019

● Designed and implemented a custom drone control system using Arduino microcontrollers, enabling precise and intuitive drone maneuverability.

● Guaranteed flight safety and manufacturing reliability of the drone control system by conducting rigorous testing and debugging.

● Integrated altitude control mechanisms to enable smooth and stable upward/downward drone movements, ensuring accurate and controlled maneuvers while maintaining height exceeding 4.5ft. JOB EXPERIENCE

BrainBuzz Houston, Texas Roles & Responsibilities: Tutor Jan. 2023 – Jan. 2025

● Tutored students on topics such as algebra, calculus, and reading comprehension, which over 100 students had shown improvement in grades and an understanding of the subject.

● Graded papers and worksheets to give students and provided feedback for improvement, resulting in improvements in grade averages of 15%.
