EXPERIENCE

Graduate Assistant

NYU Tandon School of Engineering September, 2015 – December 2015

Assisting professor with the coursework and grading for the Automatic Control, Linear Control Theory: Analysis and Design, and Simulation Tools for Robotics classes.

Preparing solutions and grading the assignments, quizzes, exams and the Matlab projects. Fluid-Structure Interaction Modelling

Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India Pvt. Ltd. July, 2012 – June, 2013

Method development for fluid-structure interaction modeling of liquid sloshing in a fuel tank.

CFD simulations of liquid sloshing in a rectangular tank to estimate the free surface elevation, pressures on the tank walls and demonstrating the influence of baffles on reducing the slosh loads.

FSI simulations to demonstrate the significance of FSI study of internal structures over standalone CFD and to estimate the stresses developed in the baffle.

The method developed was accepted for the numerical testing of the durability of the internal structures in the fuel tanks by the organization.

PROJECTS

HVAC – Fire Sprinkler System Design January, 2014 – May, 2014

Design a sprinkler system for an eight story residential building.

The system was designed in compliance with NFPA 13 regulations and standards.
