EXPERIENCE

Modeling and Simulation Assistant, Small Scale Systems Integration and

Packaging Center, NY Aug '07 - Apr '10

. Performed CAD drawings and FEA structural analysis of Data Center when

enclosures are placed on the cold aisles in Pro E along with bill of

materials and material cost to establish an experimental setup

. Proposed various methods of cold aisle isolation techniques in raised

floor Data centers to decrease rack inlet air temperatures by 15 - 40%

using 3D CFD simulations

. Extensively used MatLab programming to solve Finite Difference equations

of CFD problems

. Developed a CFD transient model for Data centers to evaluate the effects

of the power of servers and flow-rate of air conditioning units in

Flotherm
