Undergraduate Thesis - Ahmedabad University

I worked under Prof. Pankaj S. Joshi as a part of my undergraduate thesis, where I worked on probing Primordial non-Gaussianity for different models of inflation, checking self consistency of models and performing parameter estimation for the amplitude of the non gaussianity using mcmc methods and testing the goodness of fit using chi-square analysis.

Independent Research Project - Scheduling Algorithms, Ahmedabad University

I declared an independent project in Scheduling Algorithms at my university under the supervision of Professor Sayan Goswami where I used graph methods, linear integer programming, constraint optimization, and genetic algorithms to get an optimal solution to the course and exam scheduling problems at my university based on the Expression of Interest Data available for the ongoing semester.

Undergraduate Research Project - Atmospheric Lab, Ahmedabad University

Created a network on Purple Air SD 2 sensors using an ESP32 chip using the Purple Air API under the guidance of Professor Aditya Vaishya, which was used as a data logger for air quality data analysis.

Undergraduate Research Project - Mechanical Department, Ahmedabad University

I worked on characterizing the effects of Rotary Friction Welding on AISI 1018 Mild Steel Samples under the guidance of Professor Shuja Ahmed, which incorporated techniques such as microstructure analysis, microhardness testing, wire cutting, UTM testing, and weld analysis.

Summer Research Student - Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad

I characterized the Seebeck Effect under the guidance of Professor Navinder Singh. I also worked on side projects where I helped with the experimental setup for experiments characterizing Barkhausen Effect, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and Nernst Effect. I also created a small altimeter sensor that recorded the change in altitude from a fixed position.

Undergraduate Research Project - Neurophysiology Lab, Bioscience Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad University

I created a mechanical setup to test the foraging behavior of ghost knifefish (Apteronotus albifrons), under the guidance of Professor Rama Ratnam. I used infrared LEDs to mimic a nocturnal environment for the fishes, along with an ArduCam with an IR cut filter which was used to record the movement of the fishes and then mathematically modeled the same using ToxTrac.

Piston Assembly - Learning Factory Project

Created a working piston assembly system first in Fusion 360, and then fabricated the design in aluminium and sheet metal. This project was performed under the guidance of Professor Shuja Ahmed.

Algorithmic Solutions to the Vehicle Routing Problem - Manufacturing Systems and Operations

Developed and tested several algorithmic solutions to the Vehicle Routing Problem using Scheduling Algorithms, heuristics, and graph methods under the guidance of Professor S.G. Deshmukh.

Neural Network along with 3-D SLAM for developing an autonomous robot - Robotics

Designed and crafted a 10mm Acrylic chassis for a mobile robot. Developed an obstacle detection neural network using Roboflow, optimized for OpenCV AI Kit camera OAK-D. Integrated two L298N motor drivers with an Arduino Mega to control four Mecanum wheels, including the corresponding Arduino code. Implemented a 3D Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) using the depthai-sdk to premap and real-time remap the environment. Ongoing work includes integrating these components to create a fully autonomous robot, with plans to transition the main device controller from a laptop to an NVIDIA Jetson Nano. This was performed under the guidance of Professor Maryam Kaveshgar.

Music Recognition using Short Time Fourier Transform - Fourier Analysis

I designed a Music Recognition program utilizing Short Time Fourier Transforms and 32-bit integer hash maps to match and identify songs stored in a database. This was performed under the guidance of Professor Alok Shukla.

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant - Ahmedabad University

Managed student attendance, grades, and schedules; helped teachers prepare lessons; and offered remedial instruction to support the learning process. This was done for MAT281 Multivarible Calculus with Professor Mitaxi Mehta.

Physics Journal Club Coordinator - Ahmedabad University

Managed the progression of the Physics Journal Club at the University.

Undergraduate Peer Tutor - Ahmedabad University

Helped students by guiding them in assignments and classwork with the Professor to encourage low scoring students in the class.

Joint Secretary - Music Club, Ahmedabad University

I organized events, established committees, managed communication, and prepared write-ups for newsletters. I coordinated with alumni for prospective student events and oversaw multi-genre music events, fostering team leadership and handling technical aspects.

Student Ambassador - Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, Ahmedabad University

Served as a student ambassador, leading campus tours, participating in outreach events, and providing guidance on university admission processes.
