Charge-pump PLL (CP-PLL) is implemented for wired communication. Differential evolution and genetic algorithms are analyzed and implemented for the optimization of PLL performance parameters. A graphical user interface is designed to provide a complete application that wraps everything implemented with a visually appealing interface.

I contributed to the development of Pyxu v2. Pyxu is a Python 3 package for solving linear inverse problems with state-of-art proximal algorithms. The software implements in a highly modular way the main building blocks cost functionals, penalty terms and linear operators of generic penalised convex optimisation problems.

Using MicroZed 7010 that is based on the Zynq-7000 family, I designed Embedded Hardware Systems using Vivado® Design Suite and developed them using its Software Development Kit (SDK) with the use of C programming language. Also, I designed Digital IIR and FIR filters using Python with Scipy module and run it on the operating system on MicroZed that is compiled using Petalinux.
