Project Works

Research Project: Experimental methods of cooling of electronic equipment. Lead a team of three starting from

design to procuring materials, construction of the setup and conducting test runs with varying parameters to arrive at

the most efficient combination for cooling of a silicon chip prototype.

A study of annual building energy use: Used the principles of HVAC to develop a tool which analyzes the effect

of sol air temperature and shading on evaluation of building loads based on the degree day values.

Heat pipes in Micro-electronics packaging: Performed a thermal experiment to find the effectiveness of Vapor

chamber flat package heat pipe as a function of orientation relative to gravity.

Design of engineering experiments project: Performed a small house-hold experiment to obtain physical

experiment data and used the principles of design of engineering experiments to analyze data.

Robotic Projects – Lead 2 teams of five members to design and construct a Robotic arm with 3 Dof (improvement

on efficiency) and a window climber robot designed to aide humans in fire emergency.
