Summary: I proposed a novel gate-modulation algorithm for class-E amplifiers to be used for pulse shaping in the RF front-end of MRI machines. My work included developing and testing software models for class-E amplifiers as well as building and testing the associated hardware prototypes. I worked extensively on software including MATLAB, Xilinx Vivado, Advanced Design Simulator (ADS), and Proteus ARES. In addition, I acquired extensive hardware debugging skills during my work by being exposed to RF testing and measurement equipment in the lab.

Lahore

In this job role, I worked with students and assisted them in performing various cool science experiments during their freshman year. The experiments were mostly focused on mathematics, physics, and engineering.

Pakistan

In this freelance job, I developed MCQ assignments and associated solutions for mathematics courses of 6th to 12th grade

Sadiqabad, Punjab, Pakistan

This experience may now appear irrelevant, but in the grand scheme of things, it was the one that led me to realize I wanted to pursue a career in engineering R&D and not industrial management.

26-27 Km, Lahore-Sheikhupura Road, Sheikhupura

As a production intern at Atlas Honda, my job was to visit and explore various departments and plants into which industrial production was sub-divided. I availed myself the opportunity of working with professionals in the departments of the supply chain, maintenance, and quality assurance. (At this time, I wasn't sure if I wanted to pursue R&D or industrial management, so I tried an internship in both fields).

Sir Syed Memorial Building 19-Ataturk Avenue Sector G-5/1 Islamabad Pakistan

In this R&D internship, I did research on Audio Data Compression Algorithm G.729 (CS-ACELP coding) and its implementation in C language. It was my first industrial R&D experience outside of formal education. I liked it more than the Atlas Honda industrial internship.
