One semester course each for learning 'C' and 'Python' languages at NIT Kurukshetra and

IIT Ropar respectively.

All Communication Lab and Signal & System experiments completed in MATLAB

environment.

Simulation softwares:

PSCAD: Used in Power Systems Lab to simulate the power flow on the line and observe

many minutia of it.

EMTDC: Used to observe and analyze the various faults and their specific characteristics on

transmission lines.

HFSS: Used to simulate the magnetic and electrical field patterns of wire, horn and reflector

type antennas.

SPICE 5, Proteus 7.0-ISIS and ARES: Used to simulate the elctronic circuits and then their

PRESENTATIONS & PROJECTS:

Project on Electronic Enterprise at Aston University under Prof. David Webb (May 2011 – July

2011)

Designing the two electronic kits for sport of "Rowing on boat" at low price level first using

Proteus 7.0 ISIS & ARES simulations and then bringing out practical useful products.

One is to amplify the sound of Coxswain who commands the other sportsperson, for proper

rowing and safety of boat.

Second is to design the micro-controller based stroke counter, timer for the 'Rowing Race'.

This data is needed to be maintained within very precise range for proper fast rowing of boat.

Last stage is to provide proper insulation from water for above two kits.

Project on "Biometric Authentication using Face and Voice feature extraction and their fusion"

in IIT Delhi under Prof. M. Hanmandlu ( May 2010 - July 2010) :

Took the voice samples database of about 60 random persons with specific requirements.

Did find out the two features i.e. Linear Filter-bank Cepstral Coefficient (LFCC) and

Spectral Subband Centroid (SSC) for voice samples and then their fusion was done in

Matlab.

GMM classifier was trained with half samples of one user and other half samples used for

testing.

Mini-Project(15 days) on “Analysis of Performance of Three Phase Induction Motor at rated

frequency & voltage using MATLAB script” in third semester. _________________________________________________________________________________
