Education
2011 – 2014 Master of Science in Communication Technology
University of Ulm, Ulm, Germany. GPA 2.10 out of 1.00 (Highest Grade)
2006 – 2009 Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering North South
University (NSU), GPA 3.64 out of 4.00 (Highest Grade)
Thesis
11.2013 – 05.2014 Master Thesis
Thesis title: 110 GHz Signal Source for a Passive Imaging System
 Design of 110GHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) using IHP 0.13µm SiGe
BiCMOS technology. The circuit design and verification of simulation was
performed using Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS).
 The EM analysis of the Thin Flim Microstrip Line (TMFL) was done using the 3D
planer software Sonnet Suites.
 Using Cadence Virtuoso 6.1.5 the layout of circuit was completed.
 The processes of layout started with Floorplanning, Partitioning, and placement of
components.
 Proper precaution for Latchup and ESD was taken for the circuits
 The phsycial verification of DRC, LVS, ERC and Antenna Rule Check was done
to complete the design.
09.2009 – 12.2009 Bachelor Thesis
Thesis title: Temperature effects of a Multi-Quantum Well laser.
 Using Matlab simulation the laser rate equations were modeled.
 A temperature dependent rate equation was derived from the laser rate equations.
 The effects due to the variation of temperature was simulated and compared.
Experience
06.2012 – 03.2014 Student job in Daimler AG, Ulm
 Neural and pattern recognition for vehicles cameras.
 Using Matlab for the purpose of image processing of the retina.
 Using the software Labrador to label pedestrians in a recorded video of a vehicles.
 Evaluating the reaction time of a person, before and after an accident.
 Categorizing of a video frame into multiple objects using a software LableMe.
04.2013 – 09.2013 Lab Research Assistant in Institute of Microelectronics, University of Ulm
 In Cadence Virtuoso 6.1.5 using CMOS technology a biasing circuit was designed
and then it was improved.
 A two stage folded cascade amplifier with a bandwidth of 50MHz was designed.
 Next a sample and hold structure, an integrator, a NAND gate and a clock generator
was built for a clock frequency of 3.2MHz.
 All the component was combined to build a complete sigma-delta.

04.2011 – 09.2011 Student Research Assistant in Institute of Optoelectronics, University of Ulm
 Preparing test bench for testing multiple Laser in a single wafer.
 Using optical power meter to measure the output power of the laser.
 For communication between fiber-optic cables the output power and the bit error
rate was measured using BERTScope.
 The eye diagrams was plotted in high frequency oscilloscope.
04.2011 – 09.2011 Micro-computer Lab Assistant in Institute of Information Resource Management
 Using an ATMega AVR16 microcontroller and a CAN controller, an electronic
height sensor was built, for a packaging plant.
 The PCB design and layout of the circuit was done in EAGLE PCB design software.
 The microcontroller was programmed using C++ programming.
10.2011 – 04.2012 Fabrication Lab Student Assistant in Institute of Electron Devices and Circuits
 Fabrication of a TLM and Corbino MESFET on a GaAs substrate.
 Various fabrication process was involved, including oxide etching, aluminum
evaporation, resists process and elimination of photoresist.
 After the successful fabrication of the two type of MESFET multiple measurement
for the characterization was performed.
