WORK EXPERIENCE
Junior Engineer, VNR Infrastructures Ltd, India September 2013 – January 2015
Analyzed Assembly line and collected a list of failure data that could possibly stop the production and performed a FMEA study and reduced risk factors in production failure and developed standard work for Lean conversion
Worked on Lean Kaizen events on a regular basis and managing and solving it to achieve continuous process improvement
Performed Root cause analysis and made a report for tools/systems that led to bottlenecks
In-plant Trainee & Intern, Southern Railways, India June 2011 – July 2011
Aided in manufacturing of components required for maintenance of locomotives and carriages using heavy machinery namely lathe and milling machine
Approved or rejected product quality through inspection, test, or measure to ensure that production standards are met
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE `
Effect of size on Geometric Integrity on Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) parts January 2017 – May 2017
Investigated the effect of size on the geometric integrity (GD&T) of 3D print parts as specified in ASME Y14.5-2009 with infill 70% (using ABS) by obtaining point cloud data to compare the scan model with CAD model using Next Engine Desktop 3D laser scanner and Gage R&R studies
Deformation and Damage of Nano-Copper based joints October 2015 – March 2016
Evaluated different reliability tests on Nano-Copper to check if it can be used as a solder alternative in real-life application
Experimented Indentation creep test, fatigue and shear test using the Instron micro tester and exercised thermal cycling tests
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Factors influencing late arrival to class using Design of Experiments September 2016 – November 2016
Performed 23 factorial design using Minitab to identify factors influencing students coming late to the class
Concluded the most important factors influencing students coming late to class depends on the type of graduate school they attend
Decision Support System for CHF Patients Using Data Mining Techniques September 2016 – November 2016
Applied data mining (random forest and boosting) to design a reliable decision support system in a form of application that will help CHF patients to monitor their symptoms and act accordingly after discharge
Presented results and suggested that our application can replace the traditional “Green, Yellow and Red Zone” charts
Identifying Terrorist Group Behavior Using Two-step Cluster Analysis (using SAS) January 2016 – May 2016
Executed cluster analysis to identify the terrorist group profiles and their behavior efficiently using dataset with 1846 entries
Studied the result to find three most significant clusters namely weapon type, attack type and names of terrorist organization
Case Study of Supply Chain Management in Oil and Gas Industry February 2016 – March 2016
Analyzed the products and services, supply chain infrastructure of oil and gas companies, demand forecasting, supply chain drivers and metrics. Also, studied the product strategy of PETRONAS and financial performance of Shell (2012-2014)
Performance Analysis and experimental evaluation of Al-Cu Composite January 2013 – April 2013
Examined to increase toughness of copper using metal matrix composite technique by adding aluminum in three types of composition such as (Cu-90% &Al-10%, Cu-80%&Al-20%, Cu-70%&Al-30%) and found that 70% 30 % ratio structure holds good and the quality of 80% 20% ratio can be improved by subjecting it to heat treatment
