With more than 01 year of research & development in academia & 02 years of professional experience, my career is now oriented in the development of advanced driver assistance & autonomous driving systems.

Currently developing a virtual environment (Modeling ADAS sensor such as Radar, Camera, Lidar and their behavior in real world) which is capable of testing different ADAS complex features as well as Autonomous car features.

Credited for conceptualizing, initiating and developing control algorithms using Model Based Design, Matlab/Simulink/Stateflow & validation in car maker.

Expertise in fixed point modeling & auto code generation using dSpace Targetlink. Experience in MKS.

Worked on image processing for shape detector in sign recognition project as well as lane change departure project. Worked on machine learning techniques such as segmentation & clustering for audio diarization. Strong technical background in RADAR signal processing, image processing, machine learning, audio processing. Through my professional experience, I worked on different phases of V-Cycle. Having a background in Electronics & Telecommunication engineering & a master tech. in Microwave Communication, I set a goal to

gather knowledge & to have expertise in this new field of new mobility & ITS whether with professional experience or by attending workshops & automotive fairs.

Research Trainee Project Description:-

Develop & Implement A Robust Speaker Diarization System for Different Dataset: Speaker Diarization has been done using machine learning technique. Both supervised (Support Vector machine) & unsupervised (Bayesian information criteria) approach has been studied thoroughly & unsupervised approach developed in Matlab/Simulink and C++.Speaker Diarization comprises of two major task, Speaker segmentation & Speaker clustering.Speaker segmentation : It is the task of detecting speaker change points (time) that partition the input audio file into segments such

that each segment contains the speech from only a single individual. Unsupervised task is one where no prior information about number of speakers & speaker identity is required.

Speaker clustering : It is the task of detecting & gathering all the segments uttered by the same speaker. For the ease of operation proper GUI has been developed.

Contributions: Literature survey & study the concept in detail. Algorithm & concepts development.  Implementing using Model Based Design in Matlab/Simulink & S-functions in C++. GUI development for ease of operation. Software testing including setting up of test environment, creation of test cases & result analysis activities. Brainstorming & implementing the ideas to showcase the results.

Develop & Implement a Robust Voice/Music Separation System REPET (Repeating Pattern Extraction Technique) has been used to separate background music from foreground voice part.

The system is developed in Matlab & GUI is developed for the better understanding of users. Industrial Automation through AC Power line Modem.
