ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Review of Rayleigh’s Quotient and Its Properties (Capstone Project, Syracuse University) Spring 2013

Discussed and evaluated the properties of Rayleigh’s Quotient for finding the lowest natural frequency of a system

Calculated the lowest frequency for a multi-order degree of freedom system and compared it with conventional method

Observed and reported the error in calculated value and Rayleigh’s Quotient scope of application

Value Stream Mapping (Supply Chain Systems, Syracuse University) Spring 2013

Created a VSM of the process carried out in a famous dining center in Syracuse University and optimized it

Suggested an optimized process based on the observation and application of 5’S technique

Analyzed the cost analysis, time savings and presented the case details to a class of 50 and received a positive response

Modeling and Analysis of a Fixed-Ratio Mixed Mode Test (Finite Element Analysis, Syracuse University) Fall 2012

Modeled, meshed and analyzed the model in ANSYS for multiple iterations to obtain the finite element results

Determined & verified the mode mixity ratio through the finite element analysis for a purely linear elastic case

Prepared the engineering report after comparison of analytical calculations (VCCT) and finite element results

Trans-Alaska Pipeline (Project Management, Syracuse University) Spring 2012

Worked in a team of five members to work on several aspects of the project by dividing it into four phases

Performed evaluation based on Return on Investment (ROI), feasibility and risk analysis

Documented Project charter (planning phase) to determine project scope, cost and schedule, resource analysis

Created reports using MS Project for earned value analysis, cash flow analysis, resource and time management

Prepared contingency plan by diagnosing probable project failures and risk and recommended solutions for recovery

Grey Water Recycling (Sustainable Manufacturing, Syracuse University) Spring 2012

Proposed a prototype to implement waste water recycling in Bathrooms

Developed the prototype to save ~40% of fresh water per cycle, with an automatic fill and stop mechanism

Performed the Life Cycle Assessment of the prototype in GaBi (a Product Sustainability Software)

Design and Optimization of an upper skin wing panel (Composite Materials, Syracuse University) Fall 2011

Designed an upper skin wing panel of an aircraft for minimum weight and cost

Optimized the ply orientations and stacking sequence to maximize damage tolerance and durability

Calculated ply-by-ply stresses and strains of a composite lamina by writing a MATLAB code

Aug2009 – June 2010

Design, Fabrication and Performance Analysis of Collapsible Cycle-Rickshaw (H.B.T.I Kanpur)

Conceived, designed and fabricated the mechanism of a new kind of cycle-rickshaw (a three wheeler vehicle)

Engineered an actuation mechanism for width-wise compression of the driving axle up to 30%

Created a Bill of Materials (BOM) and performed the cost and feasibility analysis

Developed the prototype using machining, drilling, milling, turning and grinding, while considering the tolerances

Load carrying capability of the base model of rickshaw was maintained in the new model
