Engineering Projects & Technical Portfolio
I have experience working on both control systems and converter control through my academic research and engineering projects.
Some of the relevant projects include:
Current Ph.D. Research (GaN-Based Power Converter): I designed, simulated, and experimentally validated a GaN-based DC-DC power converter. The project involves converter control, PWM implementation, gate driver design, PCB development, EMI/EMC mitigation, hardware validation, and testing on four different PCB prototypes. I use MATLAB/Simulink and experimental measurements to evaluate and optimize converter performance.
PLC-Based Demand Side Management: During my Bachelor's project, I developed a complete demand-side management prototype using a Delta PLC, implementing approximately 8–10 pages of Ladder Logic for monitoring and controlling electrical loads based on predefined operating conditions.
Industrial Induction Motor Protection System: I also worked on the design and implementation of an induction motor protection system for industrial applications, which was later published as a research paper. The project involved protection logic, control implementation, sensor interfacing, and experimental validation.
Overall, my experience covers control systems, PLC programming, converter control, power electronics, hardware implementation, and experimental testing, and I am confident in adapting to new control platforms and motor-control applications as required by the project.
