WORK EXPERIENCE

Trainee Decision Scientist MuSigma Feb 2015– May 2015

• Optimized resource expenditure for a pharmaceutical client

• Assessed feasibility of expenditure on clinical trials, identified working capital losses

• Formulated a model optimizing site selection for clinical trials

• Prepared Dashboard to communicate developed solution to client Design Intern AERONAUTICAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY Spring 2014

• Assessed feasibility of design of a crucial aircraft panel with a more heat resistant metal

• Designed aircraft panel in CATIA V5 software, optimized it to reduce weight by adding design features

• The simulated model of the panel made of Aluminum Alloy was then analyzed using PLM ENOVIA tool Manufacturing Intern HINDUSTAN AERONAUTICS LIMITED Spring 2012

• Conducted a study to understand process involved in manufacturing a jet aircraft

• Shop floor exposure to understand functioning of CNC machines and Co-ordinate Measuring Machines

• Programmed a G-code in a FANUC CNC machine to build simple flange component of an aircraft PROJECTS

Structural Analysis of pipe joint and shear wall Fall 2015

• Finite element analysis on 3D structures such as shear wall and pipe joint intersection using modified plate/shell elements

• Plate and shell behavior were modelled separately in MATLAB and combined to produce final element which possessed six degrees of freedom

• Compared results obtained from ABAQUS and stress deviation of less than 5% was obtained Material Selection for a Carabineer Fall 2015

• Problems persisting with existing materials were explored

• Stiffer, Stronger and cheaper alternatives were reviewed

• CES Edupack was used to suggest a material which could overcome the drawbacks of existing material Design and Analysis of a Centrifugal Governor Spring 2016

• Designed a highly repeatable centrifugal governor based on certain given design criteria in SolidWorks

• Governor was analyzed in SolidWorks solver to check its conformity to given criteria such as radial, axial displacement and fundamental frequency
