2. Did other miniprojects as a part of various courses:-
a. Amplitude Modulation and Demodulation using Code Composer Studio.
b. Simulation of PLC Applications on Simulink and LabView.
c. Implementation and Interfacing of a pH sensor using Cypress PSoC.
d. Simulation of Digital Filters using LabView.
3. A Lab Oriented Project on 'Neuro Fuzzy Application in Modelling and Control' in which I designed a mamdani and sugeno fuzzy and neurofuzzy controllers to control the speed of the DC motor at required setpoint and compared the results, also designed PID and fuzzy controllers for pH neutralisation process.
-> Internships :-
1. Summer Internship in the energy unit at 'GRASIM Industries Nagda' where I studied 'Instrumentation and Control for energy centres' which included knowledge about PLC, DCS systems etc.
2. 6 mnths internship in JDA software solutions, a supply chain management company (this is not relevant to control systems though)
No papers published.
-> Work exp :- I will be working in Infosys R&D as Level 4 ,Technology Analyst starting in august 2012. - work there wont be much relevant though.
I request you to evaluate my list of universities and provide me suggestions regarding the same and thus help me through the application process.
Thanks in Advance.
