Working on the research & development of control electronics for quantum key distribution (QKD) payload for a 12U Cubesat. This involves simulations for QKD post-processing algorithms, FPGA digital design, mixed-signal circuit design & simulations and the study of electronic-photonic control methodologies.

Working on the implementation of Signal Processing schemes on RFSoC-based hardware for Quantum circuits application. Part of the team at Quantum Technologies Lab under the supervision of Dr. Baladitya Suri.

Worked on Research Projects in Digital Design, Mechatronics and Signal Processing domains with applications in Aerospace and Applied Physics. Collaborated with a team of engineers for the end-to-end development of technologies for Radar Applications.

I was appointed as the Sensor Interfacing Lead for DD Robocon 2020. I worked in the Electronics as well as the Coding Department at PICT Robotics. My main responsibility included the research and implementation of optimal sensors according to the constraints during the development of the robots. I was also involved in the Mechanism design and Electronics Interface of different subsystems.

My role in the team was in the Electronics Department which mainly included Hardware Debugging, Sensor interfacing, and Robot Design. I was also a workshop speaker and volunteer at the Arduino-Botix Workshop 2019. My contributions to the team mainly included the MR1 and MR2 Robot for DD Robocon 2019, the development of an omnidirectional drive robot chassis, and the development of the Robots for DD Robocon 2020. My secondary role included Management and Content Design for the Workshops and Social Media.
