thats an excellent idea. i hope you will be sponsered by the same american company which you r working now, if you can stay with them for another new project. and its not a bad idea to furthur proceed with your own plans rather than waiting for someone to sponser you. gopiadusumelli@yahoo.com is my friend\'s mail id .he can help you better with this. good luck.
Your experience in Switch gear and control systems will definitely count towards some sort of funding from professors. Start working on your application packet and do contact professors whose research areas match your interests.
All the Best.!!!
