Academic Research Experience:

University of Dayton

Nano-Fabrication Lab Spring - 2011

• Designed Anti-reflection Thin-film coating for Visible region

• Designed Photo-detector for Visible region

• Developed different Optical mask/pattern designs using Photolithography process.

Responsibilities:

Understand the semiconductor processing techniques, which include Thin-Film deposition (PVD, CVD), Film Etching, Photolithography process and Wafer Bonding

Studied characteristics of thin films using Thin Film Analyzer and Stylus Profilometer

Examined the photolithographic mask/pattern designs using Optical Microscope

Structural studies of etched profile surface using Scanning Electron Microscope

Image Processing using MATLAB Spring - 2010

• Super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction from a sequence of low-resolution (LR) frames

The objective of this project was to reconstruct a high resolution (HR) image from a sequence of distorted LR frames to automatically detect and recognize the letters on a vehicle number plate

Registration of each frame to a reference frame to eliminate the translational and rotational shift using the matrix by the estimation of autocorrelation and cross correlation concepts

Performed non-uniform interpolation technique on the set of available frames to fuse the information from multiple low resolution images to create high resolution image

De-blurring the interpolated image using Regularized Least Squares (RLS) restoration filter
