Magnetism has been a key point of emphasis for my research. Some of my critical activities include:
- Harnessing time-varying characteristics of alternative currents for Electro-magnetic coils.
- Study of self and mutual inductance , parasitic capacitance and impedance of electro-magnetic coils
- Use of simulation software (ANSYS Maxwell, ANSYS Mechanical, COMSOL) for design and verification purposes.
- Coil manufacturing: Development of theoretical models, use of fill factors for real world performance, manufacturing and winding coils.
- Development of enclosure to facilitate safe operations at high voltage and high current inputs, adhering to the regulations set by CSA
Use of principles of controls has also been a key point of emphasis during my academic career. Some of the key highlights are:
- Use of controller to facilitate stable levitation through the principles of eddy current levitation.
- Use of principles of adaptive controls (control principles where plant parameters are assumed to be variable as a function of time) for a pre-existing magnetic levitation system.
- Worked on development of a living sculpture utilizing the principles of electronics (sensor and actuator networks), architecture and psychology to develop the same
- Taken several courses in all levels of education to further progress my understanding of the principles of control systems.
