About Ajaya Dahal

whoamiFull Stack Embedded Engineer - Who loves turning great ideas into reality.Strong believer of \"Once you have a problem statement well written, half the problem is solved.\"Full Stack Embedded Engineer with a master\'s in electrical and computer engineering focused on Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Wired/Wireless Communication.Worked on multiple team-based projects. Strong teamwork & team-leading capabilities, developed and maintained excellent professional relationships, with an ability to work independently and make autonomous decisions, skilled in program and project organization, strong organizational effectiveness, documentation, and follow-up with team members.Current Focus: I am currently conducting independent research on Heterogeneous Computing and Low-Latency Network Architectures. My latest work involves designing bespoke RTL network stacks on the Xilinx Versal ACAP, targeting sub-100ns packet processing times for financial trading applications.Experiences:• Semiconductor and Hardware: Key responsibilities revolve around embedded systems and high-speed Ethernet design from 10Mbps(TEMAC) to 600G(DCMAC). Gaining skills in creating and upgrading innovative example designs, while also troubleshooting and resolving issues related to GTM/GTY/GTH/GTYP. Expertise extends to troubleshooting high-speed designs with bare-metal, Petalinux and Yocto OS, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. • Academic Research: Research Assistant in the field of Advanced Vehicular System at Center for Advanced Vehicles- CAVs, National Institute of Justice project-NIJ, and 5G Communication System-AERPAW at Mississippi State University. Worked with a team of researchers to develop a cell phone tracking system inside a prison by implementing AI methods to create triangulation to pinpoint the cell phone presented unlawfully inside the prison for NIJ. Have worked to simulate and study the signal propagation using Wireless Insite. Worked with 5G communication research team using Drones as a Certified Part 107 FAA drone pilot. Has been exposed to various USRPs such as B210, X310, N310 and tools like srsLTE, OAI, GNURadio, Amarisoft 5G callbox, and helped researchers to visualize the data by scripts that output the graph of the experiments. Co-authored seven papers published in SPIE digital library.
