EDUCATION

Master of Engineering in Aerospace, Carleton University; CGPA-10.9/12

2012-2013

Design optimization and fabrication of a Wing-Box structure

. Created conceptual layout and design using CATIA V5; ran Finite Element

Analysis using Pro/E Mechanica

. Optimized the design by carrying out detailed load path analyses, stress

analyses, and identified critical failure methods and locations in order

to prevent structural failure

calculating stress distribution

. Designed the specimen for best strength to weight ratio among all

participant groups

. Manufactured and tested the proposed design on time, demonstrating good

project management skills

Simulated ambient air flow over a Golf ball using ANSYS 14.0

. Demonstrated the accuracy of numerical model via generating the

computational mesh of Tetrahedral elements

. Evaluated the location of flow separation and the wake velocities

. Showcased the more efficient numerical model for analyzing flow over an

object

Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical, Punjab Technical University

. Created a design data set of gears and simulated a gear train in DMU

Kinematics

. Validated the preliminary design and detailed design of nacelle

components

. Applied Knowledge Based Engineering for characteristic independent

changeable parameters; reduced production time for effective supply

chain

CAD Engineer, IDS Infotech Limited, India

Jan 2008-Dec 2009 Virtually engineered an

attack helicopter (AgustaWestland A-129):

. Conceptual layouts of landing gear components using 2D drawings and

draft models ; created a DMU

. Liaised with client to create lay-up drawings and models for composite

parts

. Created detailed drawings for sheet metal and machined parts, assembly

and installation drawings

. Precisely generated the drafting of rotorcraft components located in: -

fuselage and canopy, vertical stabilizer and tail cone, main rotor and

tail rotor

Digitally manufactured a business jet of a European aircraft manufacturer

(Falcon 900EX):

. Simulated the DMU of the landing gear by kinematical joints using CATIA

V5 for assembly and maintainability issues

. Implemented design changes as per Engineering Change Notice (E.C.N) and

hence removed design errors

. Modeled the central skin panels, leading & trailing edge skin panels,

longerons, nervures (ribs) and assisted the CAE team for complex

geometries that caused meshing failures
