OBJECTIVE

Seeking an opportunity to work as a mechanical engineer, to obtain and

secure position that will enable me to use my technical and project

management skills as well as my ability to work well with people.

SUMMARY

. Graduate student who is pursuing masters in Mechanical from Wayne

State University.

. Successfully completed Bachelor's degree from Gautam Buddh Technical

University, India.

. During under-graduation course, got an opportunity to work on a

project that helped me to gain practical and theoretical knowledge.

. Worked on Stirling Engine, which is an external heat combustion

engine. The main aim was to make use of fuel that is eco-friendly with

zero emissions.

. Also had Industrial Training in M/s Shape Machine Tools Pvt. Ltd. for

a period of 3 months. Was able to get hands on experience on Vertical

& Horizontal Boring machine, Radial Drilling machine, Milling machine

& CNC.

. Joined Wayne State University for Masters degree in Mechanical.

. In Wayne State, got an opportunity to work in a lab as a researcher

for a period of 1 semester. Initially, worked on developing hollow 3D

collector for lithium ion batteries; electro-deposition of Cu-Ni alloy

on stainless steel and etching of copper using Cu-etchant solution.

Later on, started working on synthesis of Shape Memory Polymers and

did directed study on it.

. Currently, in Formula Hybrid SAE Team of Wayne State University;

working in powertrain subsystem.
