EXPERIENCE

Collaboration Workshops Assistant University of Florida Sep 2012 –Present

Provided support for Smathers Libraries’ Collaborating with Strangers workshop series for developing multi-discipline

collaborations among students and faculty

Redesigned the workshop website (http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/communications/colab/home.html)

Maintained webpage to display over 120 participants’ information and photos throughout the project year and communicated with

participants by email.

Communicated with various units on campus to encourage participation both in-person and through email.

Design and Controls Intern SASTRA University, India Nov 2010 – June 2011

Developed an alternate design of 6DOF Seismic simulator to achieve a cost reduction of over 12% and verified the same by

performing kinematic analysis of the model

Prepared a 3-D model of the design using Pro-Engineer Wildfire 4.0 & 5.0

Selected materials for fabrication to ensure high stability at optimal cost

Analyzed the structural stability of the model using ANSYS 13.0

Researched the modifications to the model to achieve an 28% increase in maximum load without compromising stability of the

system

Manufacturing Engineering Intern Hindalco Industries, India Dec 2008 – Jan 2009

Assisted in operation and maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic presses of 3300 ton and 1250 ton capacity.

Supported the production of various extrusion products.

Gained in depth knowledge of casting, various heat treatment processes, operation of electric discharge machining and wire

discharge machining
