• Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) is India's premier multi-disciplinary Nuclear Research Centre under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. I worked at the Accelerator Control Division of BARC as a summer intern for 6 weeks under the guidance of Scientific Officer Shailesh Khole. The following objectives were accomplished:
• In-Depth understanding of the Serial Peripheral Interface communication protocol.
• Developed synthesizable controller on a Cyclone V FPGA for the Analog to Digital converter chip LTC2353 used in a VME Data Acquisition System of a Particle Accelerator Controller through VHDL programming using Intel Quartus Prime Development Suite.
• Simulated the controller using Aldec Active HDL and tested it successfully using VMEbus and digital oscilloscope.
• Located a hardware fault on the Data Acquisition System VME which resulted in faulty values at the output of one of the eight onboard ADC chips and would potentially result in erroneous data acquisition.

• In this 8-week long internship, I worked on an Internet of Things project under the guidance of my college professor, Prof. Mahesh Warang. The following objectives were accomplished during the internship -
• Developed a Smart Gardening System using the ESP8266 module and BLYNK app to tackle the disability of plant owners to water their plants when they are not at home for weeks.
• Calibrated the soil sensors according to the type of soil used and the water requirement of the plant.
• Integrated an internet-based Real-Time Clock with ESP8266 and programmed the ESP8266 module to water the plants according to the ongoing season and the time of the day.
• Integrate BLYNK app with the ESP8266 module such that the plant owner can view the moisture level of the plant in real-time on the mobile phone, receive a notification if the moisture is below a minimum threshold, and water the plants remotely through the app irrespective of his/her location.

• Orion Racing India is a student-run, non-profit racing team based in K.J.Somaiya College Of Engineering. It is a team of budding engineering students from various streams who develop, design, and manufacture a formula-style car to take part in International Design Competitions organized by Formula SAE, most notably FSG, an acronym for Formula Student Germany.
• As a part of the electronics team of Orion Racing India, I accomplished the following things -
• Designed a radio frequency based telemetry system for our Formula Student combustion race car using Zigbee XBee S2C RF Wireless module with the main objective of procuring data from critical sensors in real-time for post-race and real-time evaluation of the car dynamics to improve the driver and car performance.
• Solved the problems of the RF-based telemetry system like range limitations and loss of data due to miscommunication between the two RF modules by developing a WiFi-based telemetry system using the ESP8266 WiFi microchip.
• Overcame the inability to effectively view the data collected for evaluation by integrating the WiFi based telemetry system with the Thinkspeak cloud such that the real-time data collected can be accessed on the cloud from anywhere along with eased evaluation due to graphical and gauge representation of data.
