EDUCATION
• St. Mary’s University, San Antonio (Jan 2006 - Aug 2007)
M.S, Electrical Engineering (GPA: 3.78/4.0)
• Amaravati University, Maharashtra, India (Aug 1999- May 2003)
B.E (Bachelor of Engineering), Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (GPA: 3.9/4.0)
MASTER DEGREE PROJECT
• Evaluation and real time implementation of different techniques for a wireless indoor communication channel and a
comparative study of their effect on the BER ( Jan 2007 – Aug 2007)
Implementation and evaluation of a wireless system using EVM TRF 6903/MSP430 from Texas Instruments was performed.
BER was being used to indicate the channel characteristics and a comparative study was done to show how it can be improved
using different schemes and techniques such as convolutional encoding, viterbi decoding and block interleaving. RS-232 port
was used to exchange data between the micro-controller and the PC.
