INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
• Worked as a summer intern in Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)

-studied various digital hierarchies that formed the backbone of

telecommunication networks
-Developed programs for echo cancellation and equalization in 2W/4W
hybrid circuits using a DSP processor
(june '06–july '06)
 Worked as a summer intern in BSNL again,at the end of which I was part
of a group that presented a project/paper titled 'Application Of Classical 2-
 Ray Model For Coverage Predictions Of Rural Mobile Communications
Over Various Zones Of South India'.

-Comparison of radio measurements with prediction methods for diverse

terrain conditions to identify the communication schemes that are most
suitable for rural zones of south India.
(june '07-july '07)
 Interned with Net Access India (Part Of Murugappa Group)-Gained
exposure to the deployment of Wireless Network Technology and the proper
implementation/ maintenance of Wi-Fi,Wi-Max networks,intranets and other
Networking infrastructure.

-Designing High Performance Enterprise Wi-Fi Networks.

-Ways to increase the capacity of WLANS in a Dense Access Point
environment.
(june'08-august '08)
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
• Volunteered as a research assistant for a doctoral student and studied The
Capacity Of MIMO Channels With Data Aided Channel Estimation.
(july '07-august '07)
• Built a wireless network that extends existing wired ethernet college
network over one floor of the under graduate dorm:
-Installed Wireless Access Points
-Configured Adapters
-Configured Ad-Hoc WLAN
(august '08)-MIT Chennai
• Designed an original multiple access scheme that meets the research targets
of 4G cellular technology. It performs a Variable Spread of input data
dictated by the number of users in a channel,while maintaining the same data
rate of other fourth generation schemes by exploiting the orthogonality
properties of the IFFT. Presented results in a paper titled 'Advent 4GMA' at
IEEE student symposium.

(august ‘07 – march ’08)
 Final Year project:Designing a Multi-Rate Broadcast Scheme (using Super
Position Turbo-TCM) for Wireless Broadband channels.
(january '08 -till date)
  Additional Project at Anna University–K B Chandrasekhar Research Center
- development of an infrastructure standard that integrates Bio-Medical
sensors and low power Radio Communications into an emergency care
setting. Physical layer design of a Wireless Communication Substrate for
medical devices that addresses Ad-Hoc network formation.
-Setting up an Ad hoc network testbed in the MIT campus
(till date)
