EXPERIENCE: Graduate Research Assistant, Polytechnic Institute of NYU, New York. (Sep 2010- May 2012)

Working under Professor. Francisco De Leon, in the project “Toroidal Distribution Transformer”, funded by Department of Energy(DOE) and involved in the design and impulse testing of the transformer.

RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS:

1. Research Thesis on “Impulse Testing on a Toroidal Distribution Transformer”: Currently researching on

The analysis of impulse response on Toroidal Transformers using a Finite Element Software and observing the

transient response of a 120VA transformer.

2. Demand Response: A Decisive Approach for Regulated Market: A IEEE Conference paper published by the IEEE PES ISGT Conference in Kollam, India, under the guidance of a Research Professor Mrs. Sindhu Suresh. It discusses the positive aspects of a power saving technique by name Demand Response and proposes the advantage of implementing it in the Electricity market.

3. Transient Stability Analysis on the IEEE 14 bus system due to the disconnection of an external system that acts as source/ load: A paper presented as a part of curriculum in NYU-Poly for the course Power System Stability which analyses the IEEE 14 bus system and investigates the performance of that power system under subjection to severe transient contingencies.

4. Generation of wind energy by its storage in aquifer belts: A paper based on the compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology where wind could be stored in aquifers and a proposal for implementation was also made. (BEST PAPER AWARD in a national level technical symposium)

5. Magnetic Levitation vehicles: A paper based on the working principle and implementation of levitation rails in India.

PROJECTS:

• ”Hybrid Solar Photo Voltaic/Wind Electricity Generation”, that involves the simultaneous generation of electricity from two non-renewable complementary sources, built up using power electronic device multi-input inverter to render a non-intermittent supply of output power to the consumers.

• “PIC Microcontroller based Obstacle Detector”, using PIC16F877 that is used to determine the proximity of any approaching obstacle and the programming for the PIC microcontroller was done using Keil Software.

• Microprocessor based tele-printer, involved in the block layout and design of the PCB board this is used to LED display of a scrolling message through 8086 microprocessor control.

SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

• New York State Certified “Power System and Power Electronic Engineer”.

• Underwent a workshop on “Power Quality Issues and their Design” organised by the department of EEE and got a practical insight of the usage of Power Electronic devices in the Industries to address the power quality and energy management issues.

• Attained practical knowledge of power generation and utilization, as a part of Industrial Training for a month in three prominent power sector industries, Electricity Board, Neyveli Lignite Corporation and Lakshmi Electrical and Control Systems.

• Secured a third rank in the Department of Electrical Engineering, CIT.

• Underwent a “Business English Certificate” course associated with testing of “English Proficiency” and passed the exam with merit distinction.

SCHOLARSHIPS: Merit Award for FALL 2010 in Polytechnic Institute of NYU.

ACTIVITIES:

• “Chief Coordinator” in a national level inter college technical symposium conducted by CIT and involved in organisation of the managerial and funding part of the event which gave vital management skills.
