Professional Experience:

Research Assistant, MEMS Research and Thermal System Lab,SDSU August 2008 – Present

• Supervised the class of 30 students in the experimental setup and assisted them through each phase

of the experiment. Trained them for preparing the analytical data from the experimental setup and prepared

detailed working procedure for comparing jet engine analytical data.

• Mask designing for micro-fabrication of electrodes and wire-traces using CoventerWare.

• Single layer and double layer lithography without mask aligning, developed features up to 10 micron gap.

• Analyzed effect of UV dosage on lithography using solar simulator.

• Development of flexible solar cell using conductive polymer and PET substrate.

Design Engineer, Aqua Designs, Ahmedabad June 2007–June 2008

• Design calculation for total water requirement, capacity of water sump and sewage treatment plant,

and load for HVAC system.

• Decide specifications of water pumps and other utility equipments related to water supply, storm

water.

• 2D modeling using AutoCAD for layout of cold and hot water piping and HVAC system ducts

layout.

• Locate water sump, utility equipments for service floors.

• Preparation of bill of materials (BOM), tender documents, estimate and rate analysis.

Design Engineer, PATELS AIRTEMP (India) LTD., Ahmedabad Jan2007- May2007

• 3D modeling using CATIA for part and surface models along with sub-assembly and detailed top-down

assembly.

• Design calculation for air cooled heat exchanger and pressure vessels capacity according to customer

demand and space availability.

• Preparation of final documentation using drafting workbench including all detail view profiles, geometric

Tolerances and bill of materials (BOM) prior to shop floor manufacturing.

Thesis: Process Optimization of novel Silver-SU8 composite material for MEMS

• Prepared Silver-SU8 conductive polymer composite for MEMS applications using UV lithography

techniques .The aim was to optimize the process steps for patternability and conductivity of the composite

polymer. Effect of different heat treatments, mixing methods and percentage loading of filler has been

experimented. Composite elemental analysis and electrical characterization have been carried out.

Graduate Projects:

• Design of Solar Air Dryer

Using CATIA, modeled solar Air dryer with all glass solar panel and loading plate design. Final product has

14% more drying efficiency than current market product for the same range of loading capacity.

• FEA Analysis & Design of ETPA (Epidural Thermal Posterior Annuloplasty) Device

Prepared an analytical model of ETPA device by using COMSOL Multiphysics FEA package to find out

thermal constant (K) value for better insulating material and analyzed the temperature distribution.

• Design of Energy Park

The aim of the project was to design an eco friendly- energy park to demonstrate the best efficiency out of all

the resources used in consideration of heat regeneration. Energy paucity was filled by the CHP (Combined

heat and power) system.

• Design mask for RF MEMS Switch based on Poly MUMPS process

Using CoventerWare, prepared mask layout, had side fingers and top fingers as diversity between designs.

Knowledge of cell hierarchy, mirror, pattern and reference features.
