  • Scored highest in the M.Sc. entrance exam & joined as a Research Scholar. Worked on analyzing the optimum characteristics, i.e., order & sampling rate of Savitzky-Golay filter for filtering fNIRS signal.
  • Modeled topographs of different brain regions at various time frames to understand their characteristic spatial & temporal changes for a comprehensive understanding of the functional neural activity, which was a part of my Master’s thesis.

 

PROJECTS

[1] Eye-blink removal from multi-channel EEG signal using correlation-based template matching.

-Modelled eye-blink and created a template, which correlated with the EEG signal after finding out the eye-blink indices in data.

[2] Investigating the structural and chemical properties of PVA-Chitosan-Gelatin hydrogel in combination with Borax.

-Developed hydrogels from different compositions of PVA, Gelatine, Chitosan & Borax, and Borax-based hydrogels showed satisfying results in degradation, swelling & tensile tests. 

[3] Development of a patient monitoring device combining ECG, PPG, and SPO2 sensors. 

-Built a low-cost, portable EEG and PPG acquisition device

-Classified arrhythmia by monitoring heart rate acquired from the sensors.

[4] Design & simulation of a flex-foot prosthesis.

 - Final year project in Rehabilitation Engineering sessional. 

 - Designed a flex-foot in SolidWorks; further load, stress, and deformation are analyzed in ANSYS.
