WORK EXPERIENCE
Clemson University - International Center for Automotive Research - Greenville, SC
Graduate Research Intern (Jan 2013 - Aug 2013)
• Researched the machinability of Nickel-based superalloys in collaboration with a
major turbine manufacturer using OKUMA 3- axis CNC milling machines
• Improved the reliability of machining process by using trochoidal cutting
• Prepared machinability charts for different hard-to-machine materials with respect to
tool wear, force and power for a quick reference to compare the properties of the materials
• Responsible for preventive maintenance of the equipment.
RESEARCH PROJECTS
Research on Electrically Assisted Friction Stir Welding (EAFSW )
• Reduced the feed forces using EAFSW by 59% compared to the conventional
frictional stir welding
• Reduced the torque by 40% at the start of the weld using EAFSW
• Investigated the influence of Joule heating effect and Electro-plastic effect in
decreasing the feed force and torque.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Assembly of Low Sales Volume Vehicle in a High Volume Assembly Line
• Led a team of six in designing an assembly plan to assemble a low sales volume
vehicle into a high sales volume assembly line
•
Developed an assembly strategy with minimal changes to the existing assembly process
• Succeeded in accomplishing the task within the pre-defined targets for capital
investment, cycle time, work force and space
Quarterly Quality Analysis of Wheel Alignment Process for a Tier I Supplier
• Performed quarterly quality analysis for the wheel alignment process operated by a major Tier
I supplier for setting the camber and toe of the rear axles
• Evaluated the output of the process using various six sigma quality tools
• Analyzed the process using PFMEA and SIPOC
• Investigated the influence of an operation on its successive operations using regression
analysis
Optimization of Machining Process on CNC 3-Axis Milling Machine using GibbsCAM
• Reduced the cycle time for machining of housing by 68% and the cost per part by 25%
• Optimized the process by tuning the test parameters feed, speed and depth of cut and also tool
wear and tool life are considered in decreasing the costs
• Evaluated the sensitivity of the process using cost contour plots with respect to different
parameters in process of machining
Analysis of the Costs Involved in Casting Process for a Pump Body
• Evaluated the cycle time of casting pump-body by calculating the filling time, solidification
time and ejection time
• Evaluated the cost per part involved in the process by considering the tool costs, material
costs, energy costs and the capital depreciation
TECHNICAL SKILLS
• Expertise with machining dynamics and manufacturing economics
• CNC programming
• Hands on experience with OKUMA CNC 3-axis and 5-axis milling machines
• Experience with milling, drilling, boring and grinding
• Familiar with tools used in six sigma and concepts of quality like SPC, APQP, PPAP,
capability analysis, GD&T, Gage R&R and Design of Experiments
COMPUTER SKILLS
CAD skills: SolidWorks (Advanced), Unigraphics (Intermediate)
Machining & Casting: GibbsCAM (Advanced), SOLIDCast (Intermediate)
Others: Minitab (Advanced), MATLAB (Intermediate), LabVIEW (Intermediate)
Microsoft Office: Excel (Advanced), Word (Advanced), PowerPoint (Advanced)
HONORS & AWARDS
Staubli Fellowship Award 2012
Received a fellowship from STAUBLI for accomplishments in various research and academic
projects
