Internships

1. Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-Kanpur), May 2017-July 2017

Project Topic: Optimal Energy Allocation in Battery-Powered Wireless Sensor Networks.
Tools Used: MATLAB
• Modeled a three battery-powered nodes system sending data to a central base station in a TDMA fashion.
• Implemented an algorithm for optimizing transmitter parameters to achieve minimum distortion given the
energy allocation in a particular frame.
• Implemented optimal allocation of energy to all the frames of all the nodes for a given lifetime.
• The above model was developed for both offline and online cases and for channels with and without fading.
2. Indira Gandhi Centre For Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam,India May 2016-July 2016
Project Topic: Demonstrating Displacement Sensor Using Laser Diodes.
Tools Used: Embedded C, Proteus, Comsol, Arduino
• Designed Analog Circuitry for light pulse generation and detection.
• Mathematically analysed and compared: light intensity, triangulation and time delay methods for distance
measurement to choose the best method.
• Simulated the triangulation method(using stepper motor) in Proteus and Comsol Multiphysics.
• Conducted experiments on triangulation method using 532nm laser and statistically analysed the results.

Academic Projects

1. Music Emotion Recognition Using Gaussian Process Regression July 2017-Dec 2017
Tools: Matlab Course: Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks
• Music emotion was recognized as a point on Russells 2-D Valence-Arousal space using Gaussian Process Regression
• Gaussian Process was compared with SVM Regression for the same task and was found to perform better.
2. Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for Adaptive Equalizers. July 2017-Dec 2017
Tools: Matlab Course: Study Oriented Project
• PSO was used for adaptive equalizer design due to faster convergence compared to LMS and RMS algorithms.
• Linearly varying parameters were incorporated into PSO algorithm to achieve better convergence.
3. ECG Signal Denoising Jan 2017-May 2017
Tools: Matlab Course: Study Oriented Project
• The ECG signal (Physionet) was decomposed into modes using Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD).
• The decomposed modes were then subjected to Non Local Wavelet Transform algorithm and adaptive thresholding.
• Various wavelets and thresholding techniques were also compared in this work, and the best results were obtained
using Haar Wavelet and MINIMAX Thresholding.
4. Automated Sleep Stage Classification Aug 2016-Dec 2016
Tools: Matlab Course: Lab Oriented Project
• 30-sec long epochs of EEG recordings were classified into various sleep stages.
• Various EEG Entropy features like Fractal Dimension, Entropy, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis etc were tested for
classification using feed forward neural networks.
5. Image Compression using Wavelet Transform Aug 2016-Dec 2016
Tools: Matlab Course: Digital Image Processing Course Project
• Images was decomposed using wavelet transform.
• The obtained coefficients were quantized and subjected to thresholding, coding and reconstruction.
• Thresholding techniques like MINIMAX, SURE, Universal etc and coding techniques like Run-Length, Arithmetic,
LZW, Entropy encoding etc were compared.
