Space Technology Lab Engineer
February 2017 - February 2018, Islamabad, Pakistan
- Proposed an IoT system for home appliances using backpropagation to reduce line power losses through two-way communication.
- Collected stress level data from young males and females during timed quizzes using electrode webs, saving data as "time versus stress peaks" graphs for ML analysis.
- Assisted in 'communication systems' and 'wireless communication' courses, taught 'signal & systems' and 'antenna & propagation' labs.
Research Summary
- The research ‘Deep Learning Based Beam Allocation in Switched-Beam Multiuser Massive MIMO Systems' is based on maximizing the data rate using mm waves in MIMO systems. The beams were designed using butler matrix; the proposed CNN-ML-based model was compared with OBS and LBA, which gave the same results but with ML (machine learning) technique. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8955466
- The research ‘Integration of IoT and Smart Grid to Reduce Line Losses' is based on minimizing losses to achieve maximum power. This paper aims to do a deep analysis on static, dynamic, and occasional power consumption and then replace the present system with two-way communication between PIM, CLM, HAN, and WAN using IoT. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8673433
- HAP, ‘High Altitude Platform', which aims to provide internet facilities to remote areas. It was a group project assigned to three departments of the ‘Institute of Space Technology,’ and I was responsible for building up the communication part between transmitter and receiver, mainly the communication of different sensors sending data to the Rx from Tx.
- IoT-based smart waste management & smart home was the project of making a prototype of a smart home using Raspberry- Pi with Linux. The connection was built up for basic home appliances and is controlled by a mobile app, or we can also control it by Alexa. The theme of the project was based on edge computing, so the sensors are controlled by Arduino, and then the data is sent to the cloud with the help of NodeMCU.
- Stress level measured using electrode- machines in males and females of different ages. The different quizzes were made for this purpose; every candidate has to solve them in two sessions, one timed and the other free from a time limit. The data is recorded, and then it is analyzed and then applied to the machine learning algorithms to compare the stress level.
- The STEM STEAM lab development project for kids in a school to enhance their logical building and technical skills to beat the upcoming industrial market. I was responsible for finding topics according to their curriculum. Design their lab manual and set the apparatus to conduct the lab, and then assign them a project to mark as the final result.
