Background

About Omkar Gaikwad

I am an Electrical and Computer Engineer with a strong academic background and practical experience. Currently pursuing a Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University, I hold a Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering from the University of Mumbai. My technical skills include programming, software tools, and hands-on experience with various boards and protocols. I'm a patent-pending innovator with a pending patent for an 'Electrostatic Precipitator for Vehicle Exhaust Soot Collection.' This innovation reduces air pollution by collecting emitted particles from vehicles and converting them into useful products. I've also published an paper on automating camera rovers for sports broadcasting, resulting in a 34% efficiency improvement and use in recording the Under-19 Cricket World Cup Championship. As a Controls Software Engineer Co-op at Nuvera Fuel Cells, I developed a user-friendly GUI application and enhanced system efficiency. In a research role at Northeastern University, I helped in developing a hydrophone array and analyzed data. I'm now seeking a full-time position in controls engineering, software development, or research. Let's connect and explore potential collaborations.
