Spot Award – Best Performer 2025 (UBL)

Recognized as "Best Performer" for immediate and high-impact contributions, showcasing strong problem-solving skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to excel in a rigorous technical environment from day one.

• Thesis Project: High-Sensitivity Magnetometer for Atmospheric Research
  Collaboration with SUPARCO | Funded by NCGSA Grant.
  Led the design and integration of a fluxgate magnetometer system, taking ownership of the analog front-end (signal conditioning for micro-Tesla resolution), digital subsystems (ARM-based data acquisition), and system integration (GPS, SD card). Delivered a functional prototype validated for capturing geomagnetic pulsations relevant to space weather analysis.
• Arduino-Based Gesture Recognition System for Computer Control

Engineered an embedded interface using ultrasonic sensors and Arduino to translate hand-position data into real-time computer commands. Developed the full signal processing pipeline, from distance measurement to USB HID emulation, demonstrating integration of hardware prototyping and software control logic.

• Embedded Safety System for Automated Furnace Temperature Regulation

Engineered a reliable control system featuring thermocouple sensing, relay-based actuation (via filament bulb load), and Arduino MEGA processing. Achieved stable setpoint regulation with real-time LCD feedback, prioritizing fail-safe operation and efficiency in a high-temperature environment.
