Additional Information

· Rf based Wireless Switch Powered by Kinetic Energy Harvesting (2020-2021)

Developed wireless switch that communicates using radio frequencies and is powered by absorbing the kinetic energy of hand while doing switching action. Electromagnetic induction was used as the main principle to harvest the required energy for the switch.

· Atmospheric Water Generator using Peltier Modules (2021-2022)

Developed a prototype that condenses atmospheric water utilizing the peltier effect to create an environment that remain below the dew point under different conditions.

· Two-Channel QMF Bank Design Approach using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (2018)

The objective of this project was to optimize the filter bank coefficients of a two channel Quadrature Mirror Filter Bank to match the ideal system response using Artificial Bee Colony and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms.

· Image Enhancement by the Application of Homomorphic Filtering and Blind Deconvolution (2017)

The objective of the project was to study and implement a system that removes any blurring and provides uniform illumination throughout the image when a blurred and a noisy image is applied.
