Experience

Research Associate

The University of Texas at Arlington

-Evaluation and research of different high stiffness, compressive and tensile strength fibers as well as conventional materials to obtain best suited material based on project requirements.

-Perform specification, troubleshooting and detailed design of mechanical projects, which included different mechanical systems and materials (wooden poles, fuselage, landing gear, composite pressure vessels, etc.)

-Assisting research fellows with the design conception, parts modeling, assembly and finally, analysis depending on requirements

(thermal, stress, fatigue, strain,etc) using CAD, FEA, and data analysis tools Graduate Research Assistant

The University of Texas at Arlington

-Worked on research thesis titled “Load-carrying capacity management of compound anisotropic composite rings under external pressure”

-Developed MathCAD programs to analyze stress tolerance of different composite materials in various combinations and orders of layers to achieve the best factors of safety in each layer

-Created CAD models of compound rings in SolidWorks and devised changes to increase pressure tolerance of the compound rings by 30%, then used ANSYS workbench to validate results Mechanical Engineering Intern - Manufacturing & Production Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited

-Observed the processes being implemented in different areas of manufacturing/production and created a report on their working

-Extracted data from multiple systems to assess trends (Yield Data, Pareto of Defects, Defects per Unit) and used data to drive continuous improvement

-Using extracted data, PFD (Process Flow Diagrams), 5 Why and Root Cause analysis, improved overall efficiency by 15% and communicated with the division heads for CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) report Projects

Wind and Ocean Current Energy Harvesting Sep 2015 - Dec 2015

-Designed a three bladed Upwind Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine using CAD tools (SolidWorks)

-Calculated blade and rotor dimensions as well as the efficiency and life of the proposed wind turbine using MATLAB Automotive Catalytic Converter for Diesel Engine Performance Analysis Oct 2015 - Dec 2015

-Creation of FEM model using reference geometry & CAD tools (AutoCAD) and review of catalysts using Excel

-Ran analysis of automotive diesel engine using ANSYS Fluent and validated using existing literature Thermal Management to Avoid Overheating in Li-based Batteries Mar 2017 - May 2017

-Identified and researched thermal limitations in lithium batteries and methods formulated in existing literature to address them

-Using micro/nano technology proposed novel solution with inspiration from existing research on nanomaterials to improve thermal performance and reduce chance of failure by 40%
