Design Softwares:

CREO 2.0: 3+ years of experience. Worked on a lot of projects which include Designing and Modelling of 3D and 2D parts and assemblies also generating Engineering Drawings with GD&T of the modelled parts.

ANSYS 15.0: 2+ years of experience. Used ANSYS APDL and ANSYS Workbench to carry out Structural analysis to analyze the behavior of the modelled parts or assemblies and to obtain information of the generated stresses and strains. Thermal Analysis of PCB’s were carried out in ANSYS Ice Pack.

Solid Works: 1+ years of experience. Designed parts and assemblies. Carried out 2D and 3D modelling.

Pro-E: 1+ year of experience. Started 2D and 3D modelling on machine parts and assemblies on Pro-E and later carried on the work on CREO 2.0 which is an advanced version of Pro-E.

Altair HyperWorks: 6+ months of experience. Attended seminars of Altair HyperWorks in Summer’15. Worked on softwares like HyperMesh, Inspire, Evolve and OptiStruct dealing with topology optimization of parts.

AutoCad: 1+ years of experience. Carried out 2D modelling in AutoCAD software and documented my work.

Languages Known:

MATLAB: 1+ years of experience. Started with using it as a mathematical tool by solving matrices and complex equations and later worked on projects for optimization of certain parameters in the automobile field.

Python: 6+ months of experience. Enrolled in this course which helped me learn the fundamentals of Coding and carried out basic programs and techniques in order to build a specific code for a specific set of requirements.

C, C++: 6+ months of experience. Started my coding experience with these softwares to learn the basics of programming languages and carried out some basic mathematical programs.

MS Office: 4+ years of experience. Have used MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel as a daily driver to maintain database, organizing work and presenting projects. Helped me improve on my verbal and presentation skills.

Certifications: CREO 2.0 (PTC University), Python (MIT Course) and Project Management (University of Adelaide) INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE:

Shah Alloys Pvt Ltd:

Examined the manufacturing of Steel from its raw materials and worked on CNC machines to make some parts.

Studied conversion of molten metal into thin rods and thick slabs by different manufacturing processes.

Differentiated Hot Rolling and Cold Rolling Processes and its unique ways to manufacture sheets and plates.

Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET):

Studied plastics and its behavior in different conditions.

Obtained information about the different ways to manufacture plastic products using molten plastics.

Studied in detail the different processes to manufacture plastics like Injection Molding, Extrusion Molding and Blow Molding and the different plastic products manufactured using these processes.

Jeffery Energy Center in Kansas State:

Analyzed the electricity generation process in Kansas, USA

Studied the boilers and its supply of electricity to nearby areas by using Generators and Transformers.

Also studied the forced draft system of cooling towers which improves the overall efficiency of the plant.

Gujarat Electricity Board (GEB):

Obtained knowledge about the boiler system and the water feeding systems in the boilers.

Studied the natural draft method in cooling towers which is used to lower the temperature of the steam generated.

Examined the generation of electricity using generators and transformers and also the supply of electricity. ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Design and Analysis of Car Chassis using CREO and ANSYS Software’s

Designed a Car Chassis using CREO 2.0 designing software with proper execution and dimensioning.

Carried out analysis for impact loading along with its crash analysis in ANSYS Workbench 15.0 software.

Compared the results for both steel and aluminum chassis and obtained their respective stress and strain.

Optimization of a Passive Suspension System of a Quarter Car Model using Matlab

Implemented strategies to carry out optimization using MATLAB coding and the equations of motion.

Objective of this project was to minimize the damping co-efficient and the acceleration of the sprung mass for providing an optimum comfort level in a Quarter Car Model on a rough irregular surface.

Thermo Fluid Analysis of Staggered and Inline Heat Sinks in ANSYS IcePack

Improved the results of analysis carried out in ANYSY IcePack of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).

Got individual results for Staggered and Inline Pin Fin type of Heat Sinks for Temperature generation in Chips.

Compared the different types of temperature and pressure contours obtained in the chip system.

Automatic Window Cleaner

Led this project by designing a mechanical window cleaner prototype in CREO2.0 software.

Objective of this project was to clean windows of High Rise Buildings externally with minimum human efforts.

Minimized the labor and the overall cost using soapy water, foam brushes and different types of motors. HONORS:

Received meritorious awards for being among the top in academics and got selected in the International Experience Program (IEP) held by Gujarat Technological University to Kansas State University during my Bachelor’s Degree. LEADERSHIP SKILLS:

Vice-President of Fine Arts Society of India (FSI) which is a student organization at UTA organizing a lot of events. This experience helped me improve my team skills, communication and presentation skills.

Event Organizing Head at LJ Institute of Engineering and Technology and organized technical events on campus held by Gujarat Technological University which improved my organizational and administrative skills.
