Teaching Assistant for full semester course on "Control System Design". As a TA, my role involves helping students understand concepts in CSD like Bode Plot based Controller/Compensator Design, Root Locus Based Design, Stability Criteria, Digital Control, Bode Integrals. The role not only involves in giving one on one attention to students if needed but also assisting the professor in proctoring exams as well as correcting the assignments involving computation and simulations.

I worked on Optimization of Control System for characterization of LAPS (Light Addressable Potentiometric Sensor). This research is under Prof. Chia Ming Yang in "2D Nano Optoelectronic Biomedical Sensor Lab".

I worked in a team of 6 people dedicated to designing control system level schematics (E3) for high speed trains like AC-EMU's, MEMU's, Metro's and the similar; writing code for the various computers (TCMS - Train Control and Management System) which interface with sub-systems like Auxiliary Converters, Line and Traction control, Passenger Information System etc., along with finally testing the development on a real time simulator. -> I have worked on rigorously testing the AC-EMU which are the local trains running in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata (MMTS) . This project helped me in understanding the system right from its hardware design to the software lines of code! Solving field failure issues for this train sets was something which used to happen periodically.-> My first project dealt with designing and coding the TCMS for Onboard MEMU (Mainline Eletrical Multiple Unit) wherein concepts involved with controlling the passenger comfort loads (lights, fans, ventilation units) were coded! Along with it, developing and testing code to control braking of "Knorr-Bremse" braking system was implemented successfully.-> The second project involved control of chain of compressors and braking system in Underslung MEMU (popularly know as "Little Sister of Train 18 - Vandhe Bharat"). I was instrumental in developing necessary software interfaces to control the same along with also managing the passenger loads. -> Developed "Brake Electronics Control System" which was an indigenous product for braking and wheelslide control in high speed trains. In a team of 2 two, we were effective in developing necessary hardware to drive loads as per SIL-3 standards and write software while implementing and experimenting popular relevant algorithms to control slide. This project is currently in the testing phase.

As a trainee, I extensively studied developing embedded systems around power PC microcontroller namely 9s12 and 5554. Following this, I studied using the TI and PIC microcontrollers for embedded applications.-> Successfully demonstrated a project based on GPS clock synchronization. This involved a Master-Slave architecture to develop a systems of wireless network of clocks which would communicate using Wi-Fi to synchornize time with GPS and display it on LCD. This was implemented in the organization.

Worked on Machine-to-Machine communication using a lightweight protocol, MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) in "Internet of Things" domain. I was able to demonstrate a prototype for home automation purpose.
