ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Autonomous vehicle simulation using CARLA Fall 2023
• Developed a self-driving car system in CARLA using Python 3 and Unreal Engine.
• Achieved collision-free driving through sensor-based simulations (Lidar, radar, RGB cameras).
Resistive touch panel March 2022
• Develop cost effective resistive touch panel and achieved a total cost reduction of 15% than the industry standards.
Home Automation using Google assistant along with a mini weather station February 2022
• Engineered a voice and app-based home automation system to control lights and other devices.
• The Weather Station displayed various information such as temperature, Humidity, and date.
• Technologies used: IFTTT, ESP microcontrollers, ATmega 328P, MXL Sensors.
Advance Automatic Sanitizer Dispenser Fall 2020
• Developed model of a cost-efficient sanitizer dispenser with temperature sensing and face recognition.
• Accomplished 45% cost reduction in the final product
• A paper of the project was selected for presentation at an International Conference ‘ICRIPE 21’.
• Technologies used: Raspberry pi, MXL series sensors, OpenCV libraries, Python.
E.A.S.T (Emergency Alert System for Traffic Management) Fall 2019
• Superintended a team of three to design and develop a model to detect approaching emergency vehicles and help
clear traffic at congested intersections.
• The model uses active RFID and NodeMcu (ESP8266) to identify a specific emergency vehicle and relays the
information to traffic lights installed at the intersection for appropriate action.
ACTIVITIES
• Headed the Astronomy club of the College from 2017 till 2021 organizing more than 30 events and 20+ public talks
delivered in the same domain.
• Worked as Coordinator of Student Solar Ambassador program organized under IIT Bombay and Hosted by
Government College of Engineering, Nagpur.
