PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Interim Engineering Intern at CEDT, IISc, Bangalore, India June 2008 – June 2009

• Worked as a research engineer, on the Camera Trap Project, under Dr Andre Pittet, Chief Project Advisor, CEDT, IISc.

• Assembling and fabrication of circuit boards and programming of PIC 17F series.

• Programmed the microcontroller to interface the PIR sensors particularly the EagleEye Wireless Motion Sensor (MS14A) with the camera.

• Created a new model of modularized camera trap, that replaced the PIC17F series with Texas Instruments MSP420 microcontroller that proved to be more effective in terms of power consumption and longevity than the old PIC17F series.

Interim Engineering Intern at Yokogawa India Pvt Ltd, Bangalore, India April 2008 – June 2008

• In-Plant Training in the functioning of various Controllers, Recorders & Data Acquisition systems manufactured by Yokogawa India Ltd.

Graduate Assistant at College of Education and Health Professions, UTA Jan 2010 – Jan 2012

• Assisted Dr. Mary Lynn Crow, Distinguished University Teaching Professor.

• Website maintenance using HTML.

• Grading and course management.

• Provided technical support for students.

Sales Clerk/ Cashier, UTA Bookstore April 2010 – April 2011

• Managed inventory and customer support.

• Account handling and cashier work.

PROMINENT PROJECTS:

• Study of Spatial Multiplexing in MIMO Wireless Systems and Alamouti’s Space-time Transmit Diversity Scheme (Tool: Matlab): Presented a paper, that deals with study of spatial multiplexing in MIMO Wireless systems with dual-polarized antennas and Space-Time Transmit Diversity technique employing Alamouti’s scheme.

• Design of a Physical Layer Simulation Reference System for a Digital Communication System, fixed wireless local area networks (Tool: Matlab): Designed a simulation reference system with a channel equalizer using both MLSE (Viterbi algorithm) and Minimum Distance Decision (MDD) that verified the performance characteristics of the algorithms.

• Space Time Trellis Code Implementation (Tool: Matlab): In this project, I analyzed the STTC for BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Key) modulation. This includes the simulation of STTC Encoder, Rayleigh and Rician Fading channel, STTC Decoder for 2 states BPSK and 4 states BPSK, for 2 cases of a) 2 transmit antenna and 1 Receive antenna, b) 2 transmit antenna and 2 receive antenna. We evaluate and compare their performance on the basis of Bit Error Rate (BER) vs Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

• Digital Video Coding Projects(Tool: Matlab): Developing Algorithms for Entropy and Huffman Coding, Golomb Codes, Arithmetic Coding, DPCM Coding, Lossless image compression, Facsimile Coding, Sub band Coding, JBIG, DFT, DCT, and JPEG

• Statistical Signal Processing (Tool: Matlab): Developing Algorithms to compute Averages and PSD (Calculation and comparison of time and ensemble averages for white and colored Gaussian noise and calculate the signal power spectral densities), AR modeling and shaping filters.

• Neural Networks (Tool: Matlab): Small Linear Networks for Function Approximation, Functional Link Net (Volterra Filter) Design Using Regression, Simple Nonlinear Networks for Function Approximation, and Batch-Mode Training for the MLP.

• Bidirectional Communications System (Tool: MpLab): Built a RS-485 based communications system between a controller and a peripheral node. The controller provides a PC serial port through which text commands can be entered. The controller then outputs commands on a 2-wire RS-485 bus. The peripheral node will extract information out of the asynchronous data stream and will control one or more devices.

• Modularized Camera Trap (Tool: Visual C++): As part of the partial fulfillment of the requirements for B.E in Instrumentation Technology, implemented modularized automated camera using TMS MSP430 and Eagle eye sensor MS14A, under the guidance of Dr. Andre Pittet.

Camera traps are systems that can take pictures of animals in the wild automatically, without requiring the presence of an operator. The camera traps developed by me consisted of a motion detection circuit, a microcontroller and a camera. The motion detection circuit uses a Fresnel lens and a Pyroelectric detector that reacts to any moving object. Instead of the old PIC17F series I used TMS MSP430 as the controller which is the heart of the system that receives the input signal from the detection unit and triggers the camera.

ACHIEVEMENTS:

• Elected Senator of Engineering Department in the Graduate Student Senate (Fall 2009 to Spring 2011) at the University of Texas at Arlington, and responsible for bringing about sustainability at UT Arlington(http://blog.uta.edu/sustainability/2010/08/09/at-urging-of-grad-student-senators-new-saturday-shuttle-route-is-adopted/)

• Member of Eta Kappa Nu, electrical and computer engineering honor society of the IEEE.

• Awarded Cindy Atha Shira Simcha “Pay It Forward” Scholarship for the year 2010 by UT Arlington.

• IEEE Member.

• Awarded Rajyapuraskar (Governor’s Award) by Bharat Scouts and Guides.

• Captained the Women’s Basketball Team at JSSATE from 2007-2009.

• Organized "Times Youthopia" fest for Times of India, an inter-college cultural.

• Head Coordinator for Verve 2008 and 2009, an inter-collegiate techno-cultural and management fest, conducted by JSSATE.
