Welcome to my Career Space

Chemical Engineering Electronics Engineering

Two roads diverged

in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far

as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

The Road not taken

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted

wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the

same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to

way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

My Learnings

“Around here, however, we

don’t look backwards for very

long.

We keep moving forward,

opening up new doors and doing

new things, because we’re

curious…

and curiosity keeps leading us

down new paths.” Walt Disney

“research, design, and implementation of technology to directly improve the well-being

of poor, marginalized, under-served, or disaster-hit communities, which often lack the

means to address pressing problems.” Wikipedia

Humanitarian Engineering

states that “Humanitarian engineering is the creation of technologies that help people”

Ohio State University

Humanitarian Engineering

is defined as the use of science and engineering to invent, create, design, develop, or

improve technologies which promote the well-being of communities which are facing

grand humanitarian challenges (fast-growing populations, poor, disaster-hit,

marginalized, or under-served communities)” University of Warwick

PRE-DIAGNOSIS

a. Respiratory Health Data Recording System

It is a set of applications designed for use in medical facilities to improve the collection, assessment, and archival of patients’ respiratory system data. The system consists of a Health Data Recording App on a mobile

phone, and a Health Record Database Server.

b. Concept Design of a Labview-MySQL Data Warehouse for Digital Recording of ECG-EMG

c. Non-invasive Diabetes Detection using Facial Texture Features Captured in a Less Restrictive

Environment

“Innovation is not about saying yes to

everything. It’s all about saying no to all
