TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
Graduate level projects
Traffic Light control using Programmable Logic Controller(2014): A systemwasdesignedusingIP3416, where the
numbersof outputsto be controlledwere higherthanthe numberof outputsavailablefromthe PLC.A 4 to 16 line
decoder(CD74HC4514) was usedtomanage these outputs.
Inverse time current relay (2014): Designedaninverse time overcurrentrelay byIEEEC37.112 standards for
protectionagainstdifferentmagnitudesof faultcurrentcontainingharmonicsandDCoffset.
BLDC motor analysis (2013): Analyzed anon-sinusoidal brushlessD.Cmotorusingmultiplereference frames.
Characteristicsof the motorduringfree acceleration, faultconditionalongwithloadcharacteristicswasfound.
Power electronicconvertercontrol analysis(2014): Analyzedvariouscontrol techniquesinvolvedinthe working
of powerelectroniccontrollerslikeDC-DCconvertersandBuckconverters
IR transceiver design(2013): DesignedanIRtransceiverforcontrol and receptionof IRcommands.IRremote
control supportand higher- rate datacommunications supportwasalsoprovided.
