Projects

Micromagnetic Simulation for Spintronic Data Storage

How do we push the limits of next-gen data storage? At BRIN, I expanded on existing spintronic research by running 468 rigorous micromagnetic simulations. By decoding domain wall dynamics, I turned complex raw data into clear insights that shaped an upcoming scientific publication.

IoT-Based Hazardous Gas Detector

Bridging hardware and network protocols for environmental safety through a complete IoT hazardous gas detection architecture. By seamlessly connecting ESP32 sensors to a live web dashboard and prioritizing rigorous performance testing, this initiative resulted in a highly responsive, scalable, and well-documented system for continuous monitoring.

Fire Suppression System

This project focused on reducing human response delay in fire emergencies by developing a simple automated suppression system. It utilized dual gas sensors integrated with Arduino-based control logic to detect potential hazards and trigger a response in real time.
