Master of Science – Manufacturing Engineering, Arizona State University CGPA – 3.71/4 Expected December 2015 Bachelor of technology – Mechatronics, SASTRA University, India CGPA – 3.84/4 May 2014 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Laboratory Assistant, Automation Lab – Arizona State University August 2014 – Present

Instructed the senior year students during lab sessions for advanced automation and computer integrated manufacturing courses. Motivated them to pursue in the field of automation.

Instructed the junior year students for introduction to automation course. Developed an electric schematic using AutoCAD – electrical for the course project which made it easier for students. Design and Process Development Intern, Askar Microns Pvt. Ltd, Mysore, India May 2013 – July 2014

Collaborated in a team of design personnel and developed a process that decreased the machining time of lathe beds. This was achieved by modifying the existing method of machining lathe parts from conventional machines to CNC machining practice.

The setup time has decreased from 64 hours to 34 hours.

The new process has doubled the productivity of manufacturing lathe beds. Similarly, new processes were developed for other parts.
