08/99 - Present Graduate Teaching Assistant
School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology,
Atlanta, GA
Developed and graded labs and homework and provided help to students in
using Cadence and Synopsys software for the VLSI and Advanced Digital Design
course.
06/99 - 08/99 Member Technical Staff
Wireless Research Lab, Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies, Holmdel, NJ
Did an optimized implementation of adaptive coded modulation scheme for
a fixed wireless system on TMS320C62XX fixed point processor.
Developed a simulation for modulation and coding using space-time coding
diversity techniques.
09/98 - 06/99 Special Graduate Assistant
School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology,
Atlanta, GA
Developed interactive Java applets for use by students in their Microelectronic
Devices course.
09/97 - 09/98 Graduate Research Assistant
School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology,
Atlanta, GA
Designed a fabric defect detection system using wavelet and fuzzy logic
image processing algorithms.
Programmed a real-time implementation in C and assembly on the parallel
processing TMS320C40 DSP platform.
Worked on a four-channel frequency lock-in system
involving digital demodulation of low level signals. Developed algorithms
for filtering and demodulation using MATLAB and implemented them in C and
assembly for the TMS320C31 DSP board. Designed the analog front-end that
included 16-bit A/D converters, direct digital synthesis oscillators and
mixers for superheterodyning. Also, supervised a team of three engineers
coordinating their work and developing the system interfaces.
Developed a PC-based six degree of freedom simulation
system for aerospace vehicles including 3D graphics, perspective viewing,
coordinate transformations and aerodynamic calculations.
Developed PC-based test stations using data acquisition
card, GPIB card, PC parallel and serial port interface and laboratory instruments.
Skills
Languages: C,
C++, Java, VHDL, Assembly for TMS320 family DSPs and 80x86, FORTRAN, BASIC.
