OBJECTIVE Seeking Spring 2017 Coop/Internship position that involves designing, specifying and testing filters, antennas, RF & Microwave as well as other communication systems for given performance requirements. EDUCATION Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA (Expected) Dec 2017 M. Eng., Electrical Engineering. GPA: 3.90 Lahore University of Management Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan June 2014 BS, Electrical Engineering. COURSE HIGHLIGHTS Communication Systems; Antennas; Radio Wave Propagation; Digital Communication Principles. Ongoing: Electromagnetic Waves; Stochastics Signals and Systems; Advanced RF & Microwave Engineering. TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE Co-operative Monitoring Centre, Sandia National Labs (SNL), Albuquerque, NM 04/2014-06/14 Research Fellow

Research involved providing engineering solutions to cross disciplinary problems. Modeled early warning systems and generated simulations by designing, optimizing and

implementing an algorithm using MATLAB.

Presented simulation results at Science & Global Security Program at Princeton University and the US Department of State.

PROJECTS HIGHLIGHTS Study on Channel Access Methodologies and Multiplexing Schemes for 5G Systems Study on probable channels, access methodologies as well as multiplexing schemes for future 5G systems. Project aims to publish a survey paper on the same topic. Design, Fabrication and Testing of a Vee Dipole Antenna Vee Dipole antenna for GPS systems designed in the L band using 4NEC2. Designed antenna is fabricated and tested at Virginia Tech Indoor Propagation Lab. Design and Simulation of an N layered Interference Filter For Fiber Optic WDM Applications Interference filter for application in multiplexers and de-multiplexers in optical fiber communication designed to achieve transmission of certain range of wavelength while reflecting others for a given power reflection coefficient. The design specification involved achieving the above performance for minimum number of layers. Bit Error Rate Estimation over an Additive White Gaussian Channel Computation of Probability of Error at the output receiver for a low and high order modulation schemes sent over a noise channel modeled after a zero mean Gaussian. The simulations are generated using MATLAB. TOOLS AND LANGUAGES HFSS MATLAB 4NEC2 LTSPICE PYTHON C++ NETWORK ANALYZER HONORS & AWARDS
