 California State University, Fullerton Fullerton, CA
Master of Science, Electrical Engineering (MSEE) May 2016
GPA: 3.59
 Gujarat technological University, India Surat, GJ
Bachelor of Engineering, Electrical Engineering (BE) August 2009 – June 2013
GPA: 3.08
PROJECTS:
 Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) November 2015-Present
 Designing and building an autonomous ground vehicle with a team of 6 students, capable of completing several
difficult challenges, such as navigate an outdoor obstacle course, travel autonomously from a specified starting
point to a sequence of destinations specified by latitude and longitude using LIDAR, Radar, and GPS.
 Prediction of hotspot temperature of Transformer using an Artificial Neural Network Spring 2015
 Implemented a MATLAB program to predict the hotspot temperature of transformer using an Artificial Neural
Networks (ANN) by analyzing the different aspects like temperature of different parts, losses, and load
fluctuation. So we can take some safety steps in advance and run the transformer at higher efficiency.
