Tata Consultancy Services – Assistant System Engineer Dec 15 – Jul 16
• Engineered a sensor triggered closed loop cooling system for Solar Panels to maintain the temperature at an optimum level
• Computed the increase in the efficiency of Solar Panels by 10%
• Demonstrated the results obtained by performing simulations using ANSYS
• Created engineering drawings by following design standards and GD&T standards, in compliance with ASME Y14.5 & designed 3-D models using Solidworks
• Organized workshops on Information Security, Business Continuity Management, Social Engineering for 200 employees. Cooper Corporation Pt. Ltd – Engineering Intern Jul 15 – Sept 15
• Worked as a Graduate Intern on the development IC engine parts such as cylinder sleeves, flywheels and crankshafts.
• Created engineering drawings and 3-D models using DFMA guidelines of the IC engine parts using Solidworks
• Worked on the machine shop with CNC Lathe, CNC Milling and Drill press
• Developed CNC codes using MasterCAM
• Maintained configuration control of documentation for the incoming orders, workflow in the workshop and quality assurance PROJECTS
Integrated Application of Nanofluid Heat Transfer to Microelectronic Packaging Jan 18– May 18
• Developed a System-on-chip packaging design with Microfluidic Pin-fins integrated with the silicon die to study the Nanofluid Heat Transfer.
• Explored different semiconductor processes such as etching, PECVD, photolithography, REI, thin film deposition etc. used in the fabrication through extensive research
• Studied different nanofluids with their comparison based on varying thermal conductivities through literature review
• Generated the CAD model in Solidworks and simulated the results using ANSYS Fluent
• Compared the results obtained from on-package cooling systems with in-package cooling system Structural Optimization of a Space Truss Model using ANSYS Aug 17– Dec 17
• Optimized the cross-sectional area of each truss member by 30% ensuring that the maximum combined stresses do not exceed a given desired value
• Designed the 3-D Space Truss model using Solidworks
• Conducted Finite Element Analysis(FEA) using ANSYS Workbench- Static Structural Analysis
• Analyzed the space truss model with computer DOE principles, Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm as an optimization method, Kriging as our response surface and Latin Hypercube as the sampling method Crash Analysis of an Automotive Body Jan 17– May 17
• Validated implementation of advanced materials like Aluminum, Carbon Fiber and E- glass Fiber through extensive studies of Strain, Stress and Deformation (in ANSYS) in auto components thereby optimizing the design for safety
• Compared the material properties in terms of their behavior under different stresses by conducting crash analysis tests of an automobile
• Concluded that the Carbon Fiber gives the best results of all the three materials above but due to prohibitive cost, it’s not widely used
The Trash Compactor Aug 14– May 15
• Initiated a project to build a portable, ergonomically efficient trash compactor to compact solid waste to 25% of its original volume
• Designed a model using Solidworks for CAD and AutoCAD for engineering drawings
• Developed prototypes through welding, sheet metal cutting, drilling & form cutting for gear manufacturing and assembled it
