Hi,
Please evaluate my profile for MS in ECE.
GRE: 329. Q-168. V-161. AWA-4.0
TOEFL: 117 (R-30, L-30, S-29, W-28)
UG- NIT Trichy B Tech in Electronics and Communications Engineering
Research:
1. Image denoising using wavelet transforms, worked on wavelet co-efficient threshold estimation and application methods. Worked in a team of 4 students. I was responsible for transform implementation code, paper content and LaTex work for 3 IEEE conference papers we published. Presented one of the papers at an IEEE conference.
2. Final year project on image processing for pest infestation monitoring in rice plants. Worked on compression and corner detection algorithms.
3. Developed a Verilog based 24 bit multiplier module for FFT butterfly modules, for a department project.
Industry:
1. Board design engineer since july 15(15 months) at Tejas Networks, work on RTL coding, schematic creation and prototype board bring up, for Terabyte level switching cards.
2. Intern for 1 month at Skanray healthcare, filter design for ECG pre processing. Filters developed were used in their portable ECG product.
3. Intern for 2 months at Smartlink networks, carried out a feature analysis of Intel NUC CPU and gave use case proposals. Worked on a VoIP call making client software using Asterisk a Vitual PBX software, where i prepared Asterisk dialplans and developed basic UI.
Independent Projects:
1. Software defined FM receiver using an RTL-SDR receiver processed using GNU Radio.
2. Raspberry pi based guitar effects processor.
Extra curricular:
1. Workshops team head for dept symposium.
2. Campus placement course co-ordinator for juniors in DSP/Comm.
3. Taught at Intro to Matlab workshops conducted by ECE association.
Universities I am considering now:
UT Austin
UC LA
UIUC
UCSD
Purdue
G Tech
CMU
USC
TAMU
V Tech
ASU
CU Boulder
UFL
Rutgers
I am looking to shortlist 8 (max 10) universities for Signal processing/ Communications systems. I have no interest in joining research or teaching, so I am looking for places that are most advantageous at landing a (as much as possible) core job.
I have added Rutgers and CU Boulder, since they are famous here for Comm, can someone shed some light on current scenario at Rutgers and CU B.
Please tell me what kind of posts/industry use DSP knowledge, friends already in US have had me worried about choosing to specialize in this field. I learned python and took an algos course, also I am not averse to VLSI/RTL coding, but still would love to work somewhere ppl talk about filters, SNR etc![Smile]( "Smile")
