m_maddela.pdf (13.1 KB, application/pdf)- Dear Sir/Madam,
I have recently completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Auburn University and wish to apply for any MEMS Engineering positions that you are recruiting for. I have defended my dissertation and completed all other formalities and will be receiving my degree in May 2008.
My primary research focus is on MEMS devices. I have employed MEMS varactors to design tunable and switchable antennas. I have also worked on the integration of an organic MEMS pressure sensor with an organic Field Effect Transistor. I have clean room experience working in the Alabama Microelectronics Science and Technology Center (AMSTC) lab for the past three years and familiar with processes and procedures involved in design, layout, fabrication and testing of MEMS devices.
I am attaching my resume for your kind perusal. I believe that I will be a good fit for the position and would really like to discuss more regarding the opportunity with you. I currently possess work authorization for a year as part of practical training.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Madhu

Projects:
• Integration of an organic transistor with an organic MEMS pressure sensor: When a MEMS pressure sensor is integrated with an Organic Field Effect Transistor (OFET), it can alter the input voltage being given to the OFET and thereby control the output with its sensing movement. Thus, the mechanical movement of the pressure sensor in response to an applied external pressure is used to modulate the OFET drain current. The devices were fabricated using printed circuit processing techniques.
• Tunable coplanar patch antenna using MEMS devices: The objective of the project is to design an electronically tunable antenna to work for a frequency range of 5.5 GHz. The design includes a modified version of a CPW-fed folded slot antenna with the MEMS devices placed above the actuation pads. The whole structure is integrated using PCB-based MEMS technology for use in cellular applications. The design employs 2.5D and 3D simulation software like ADS, HFSS etc.
• Antennas for Radio Frequency Identification Systems: This master’s thesis work included design and development of 13.56 MHz loop antennas to enable communication between the reader and transponder of an RFID-based sensor system.
• A Koch Fractal slot antenna design: The minimal area occupying feature of fractal structures was exploited in designing Koch fractals antennae using Ansoft Designer and HFSS.
• Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of Smart Antenna Systems: The project “Smart Antenna Systems” was divided into various modules. In this module, the SNR was measured by manipulating the data obtained from the previous modules and an adaptive filtering algorithm was implemented in MATLAB to improve the radiation pattern by noise subtraction.
