Responsibility of Safety observer and Fire safety coordinator for the department. Identified and resolved unsafe acts and unsafe situations in the workplace. Conducted SAM – Safety Action Meeting and filed incidents and investigations. Graduate Engineer Trainee, Quality and Value Engineering Jan 2013 – May 2013

Administered special projects for export vehicles in Complete Knock down (CKD) using Root Cause Analysis, 7QC Tools, Poka-yoke and 8D methodology to reduce customer complaints by 50%, rejections, and reworks by 20%, leading to a cost saving of $40,000 annually.

Packaging improvements done for the export vehicles led to a cost reduction of about 10% annually applying Lean Six Sigma strategies.

Achieved an improvement of 20% in productivity through Kaizen projects and elimination of manual activities was attained by applying lean methods.

Graduate Engineer Trainee, Sales, Warranty and Service Aug 2012- Dec 2012

Collection and resolution of Customer voice and issues respectively on Service related inquiries and services. Solving customer complaints related to Tata Prima and export vehicles of Ace, which were a high priority area for Tata Motors.

Worked with sales and service team to understand the process of handling warranty issues, allotting new dealerships, after sales processes and other important service related functions.

Studied and improved the service processes for all vehicles, which led to a decrease in turnaround time for vehicle service. INTERNSHIPS:

SECO TOOLS, Pune, India Summer 2012

Worked in the Quality Department and learned how carbide inserts and cutters were manufactured using Powder Metallurgy.

Followed up all steps of design, analysis, manufacturing and assembly of customized mechanical parts and structures

(small, midsize and large) by machining, metal forming, milling and other CNC operations.

Aided in upgrading internal engineering standards and practices.

Provided design concept for carbide inserts, development timetables and anticipated costs for team review and approval. AIESEC ISTANBUL, Turkey Summer 2011

Interned at ‘T.C Nişantaşı’ and ‘İstanbul Aydın Üniversitesi’ universities over the duration of the summer.

Worked on ongoing mechanical engineering projects thereby gaining relevant experience outside my coursework.

Interacted with students, faculty and liaised with people from all around the globe informing and sharing ideas. ACADEMIC AND WORK PROJECTS

Design Fabrication of Organic Electronics: Sensitivity Analysis Study (Thesis) Fall 2016- Present

Performing a sensitivity analysis using Sobol indices of the governing Cahn-Hillard equations to identify the key processes and system variables affecting the final morphology of organic thin films using Monte-Carlo simulation.

For each process and system variables, we execute a computational model to track morphology evolution under given input parameters, and record the morphology evolution path.

This work has important implications to navigate the exploration of processing space and ultimately to facilitate design of organic electronic devices (e.g. Organic solar cells) with improved properties. CAD Modelling to optimize the functionality of CNC Machine for a set of tile patterns Spring 2016

Developed a model of a CNC Machine in Autodesk Inventor and simulated the desired motions in a dynamic environment.

A trajectory-planning scheme was proposed so that the sample tile pattern could be broken down to a sequence of parametric curves and 2D transformations. Motion simulation based on the designed trajectories in the Inventor Model was conducted to get the desired results.

Drawing sheet with BOM and specifications were prepared. Designs were implemented using Matlab coding. Lean Six Sigma- University at Buffalo Police (Minitab) Summer 2016

The project laid emphasis on scheduling of employees and managing lost and found items efficiently by using Six Sigma tools such as Project Charter, Process Flow Diagram, Pareto Chart, SIPOC, Run chart, FMEA.

The main purpose of this project was to optimize the scheduling of police officers working in the power shift at the university police. Applying 5S to the lost and found items, thereby facilitating a proper system for managing them based on category was executed. Optimizing the work hours of PSA (student assistants), reducing their idle time and enabling cost cutting for the organization was also achieved. Vibration Analysis of a Bicycle Model with Forced Excitation from ground Spring 2016

The dynamic behaviour of a bicycle was studied by considering the multi- degree of freedom (MDOF) system response.

The operating conditions had been varied keeping in mind the road surface. The harmonic forced vibration excitation response due to the uneven road surfaces was investigated in this project. Finite element modelling of a cantilever beam and a 2-D frame Fall 2015

ABAQUS was used to perform the finite element modelling of a cantilever beam with fixed multiple loading.

Deformation of a 2-D frame under two point loads of varying amplitude with time was studied using finite element difference (FEA) and simulated using MATLAB.

Logistics arrangement at Chassis Line New Conveyor (Tata Motors) Oct 2014- June 2015

Concerns and action plan for Parts Management at H3 Chassis Line was chalked out. Activity Timeline was created.

Plan to relocate Kitting, Supermarket and Sub- Assembly Area mapped and successfully implemented. Analysis of Thermal Effects in Journal Bearings, (Undergraduate major project) Fall 2011- Spring 2012

Studied the impact of heat transfer in journal bearings with analysis of thermally modified hydrodynamics.

Two approaches were used for design calculation of bearing due to thermal effects: iso-viscous with effective viscosity, in which effective temperature analysis for narrow journal bearing was performed in MATLAB, and the non-iso viscous approach with local varying viscosity in the lubricating film was done analytically.
