Working on 5G related receiver design, 3D MIMO channel modeling, and mm-wave related challenges

The team is developing an effective real-time seizure onset prediction algorithm for epileptic patients in the context of a complete mobile health solution. The long term aim is to be able to notify patients reliably ahead of time of seizure onset events in order to try to avoid life threatening consequences. The algorithm takes as input real time multi-channel EEG data, and are based on a combination of signal processing, independent component analysis, data compression, pattern recognition, feature extraction, and machine learning techniques.

I've worked as a teaching assistant with prof Mansour in the DSP course covering the following material:1- Signals, Systems, and Transforms.2- LTI Discrete-Time System in the Transform Domain3- Digital Filter Structures4- IIR Digital Filter Design5- FIR Digital Filter Design6- Filter Design Based on a Least Squares Approach7- DSP Algorithm Implementation8- Analysis of Finite Wordlength Effects9- Multirate Digital Signal Processing10- Multirate Filter Banks and WaveletsIn addition to working on MATLAB and DSP kits to solve problems.

Internship as research assistant at the chair “Microelectronic Systems Design Research Group” at the technical university of Kaiserslautern, Germany under the supervision of Prof. Norbert When. In my internship, I implemented a C++ software model for several variants of a fully parallel MAP decoding algorithm and evaluated those using an existing simulation environment against the State-of-the-Art max-Log-MAP algorithm. After selecting the best variant, I developed a RTL model using VHDL, verified its performance with the software model, and performed synthesis for FPGA and ASIC. While in Germany, I took the Implementation of Integrated Circuit Lab course, which enriched my knowledge in using hardware description language VHDL with EA tools, in addition to the implementation of digital circuits on FPGAs (and standard cells).

Internship included working at the network operation center (NOC), the performance analysis center, the optimization center, and the team working on the field.
