The goal is to develop a Prosthetic Hand Orthosis for patients suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury to aid in daily manipulation tasks and activities. The model will build on the existing H.O.P.E. hand by the WPI AIM lab to include compliant control and user intention detection ● Compliant control of the orthosis for manipulation to accommodate for patient’s hand stiffness ● Sensor fusion of IMUs, ToF sensors, and Depth cameras for arm tracking and object detection to create integrated user intention detection ● Deep learning-based algorithms to gauge environment and user grasp intent based on sensor data Show less

I am working to develop a prototype for a startup that deals with reading sensor data of a car via the engine control unit (ECU) and displaying the diagnosis either through a server or on a GUI , sent directly to user's phones by use of GSM modules.

Developed a Nano-satellite system as part of a student project in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to capture thermal images and determine urban heat islands while testing an experimental de-orbiting mechanism that aims to reduce space junk after decommissioning of the satellite. ● Implemented RF communication links with satellite as per SPI protocol for beacon transmission & telecommand uplink ● Applied embedded programming of MSP & ARM microcontrollers for transmission and reception of data packets, including error checking methods and data packet designing ● Designed architecture for the ground station along with a receiver-end RF system that operated at Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF) bands to provide signal conditioning for satellite uplink and downlink. ● Tested final PCBs to check the functioning of components under thermal stress and verify error-free communication; tested satellite antenna to check insertion loss, directionality and antenna gain Show less
