Monash University’s final year project (FYP) program is for a full academic year with 12 credit points. Students can execute the projects in group or individually. Two or more students can group together to carry out the research project. The following is a complete list of completed and on-going FYPs. The list shows my research interests in various areas of electrical and electronic engineering especially in wireless communications and RF & Microwave and Antenna Engineering and microwave biomedical engineering. I always motivate my senior students to perform high quality works so that they can engage in active learning in the FYP projects and develop confidences in future endeavours. So far I have supervised about 100 FYP students in Monash University and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (from 1999-2004). Please note the numbers in parentheses indicate the number of publications generated by the FYP projects.
Semester 1, 2017 Industry Sponsored Projects (Industry Partner: nextLiFi, immediate opening) Project 1: Design & build operating prototype for LiFi system that enables high speed data communication: The project concerns the design and development of a working prototype that enables high speed data (text) transmission, from one device to another device using the LiFi technology. High-quality analytical and hands-on skills in both light wave and wi-fi technologies, a commitment to experimental research, and development of theoretical concepts are essential. The project can recruit up to 2 FYP students starting in February 2017.

The project concerns the design and development of a new LED RGB prototype that is capable of transmitting data signal speeds at a higher ratio to that of existing RGB LED’s. High-quality analytical and hands-on skills in semiconductor physics and fabrications, lightwave and wifi technologies, a commitment to experimental research, and development of theoretical concepts are essential. The project can recruit up to 2 PhD scholars together with research assistants for three years starting in 2017.

The uplink will be via a WiFi network and down link via LiFi network. High-quality analytical and hands-on skills in both RF/microwave and light wave, a commitment to experimental research, and development of theoretical concepts are essential. The project can recruit up to 2 FYP students starting in February 2017. (Sponsored by nextLiFi Pty Ltd; http://www.nextlifi.com)

Procedure to select a project that a student wants to pursue:
1. Look at the list of the project below and read the titles carefully. Any keyword that matches your interests, go to Google and do a search of the keyword. Learn some basic and fine tune your match. 2. Write a two-page research proposal and bring the proposal to Dr. Karmakar to discuss the project that you want to pursue under his supervision. Bring your transcript during the discussion to facilitate understanding your background and strength for the project. 3. After a negotiation, confirm the project and enroll into the project. |
