University Projects
- Bus-Structured Computer, 09/01/18, Macquarie University, Sydney, To develop bus-structured computer using VHDL, Xilinx Vivado, In a group of two, a computer named 'MUM: Macquarie University Microprocessor' was created with the help of two VHDL files; memory and CPU. Declared registers and defined transition states with the help of transition state diagram and declared memory and CPU code into the final MUM code. Finally, a simulation of four states defined in the state diagram was executed., Obtained Credit for this project.
- Electric Vehicles Performance, 01/01/19 - 11/01/19, Macquarie University, Sydney, To study the performance of different types of electric vehicles for uphill and downhill driving, MATLAB, In a group of two, I was responsible for the performance of Battery Electric Vehicles. The thesis is divided into 5 phases including Requirement Engineering, Design model for the BEV, Coding for comparison of BEV and Fuel Cell EV and testing of the model., Obtained Credit for this project.
