Project Assistant, Non-Linear Multifunctional Composites Analysis and Design (NMCAD) Lab Sep 2014 to May 2015 Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India

• Collaborated with the National Program for Micro Aerial Vehicles (NPMICAV) team to develop a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) interface for a Flapping Wing Micro Aerial Vehicle.

• Verified and validated on COMSOL the FEA and CFD results obtained by the previous team of interns on OpenFOAM.

• Validated the results obtained by the structural solver Variational Asymptotic Method (VAM) on COMSOL FEA.

• Validated a modified Hron-Turek benchmark test for FSI on COMSOL by replicating the results on OpenFOAM. PROJECTS

2D Elliptic Grid Generator around a NACA 4412 airfoil Apr 2017 to May 2017 Numerical Methods Project, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY

• Programmed an Elliptic Grid Generator for the 2D domain around a NACA 4412 airfoil.

• Developed an interactive Python program to solve an isothermal Laplacian Equation using various techniques/solvers.

• Optimized program over parameters like tolerances, relaxation parameter, computational time, and convergence.

• Modified program to work with any airfoil profile subject to user input over a range of number of grid points. Design, Analysis, Construction and Flight Testing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Dec 2013 to Jun 2014 Senior Year Project (Solo), Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum, India

• Designed, Constructed, and Flight Tested a Remote Controlled (RC) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) optimizing over design parameters and constraints like budget, payload capacity and simplicity of control.

• Generated high fidelity 3D models of the skeletal structure and the final aircraft on CATIA and SolidWorks respectively.

• Simulated impact tests on the skeletal model of the UAV on COMSOL to determine thickness of beams of the airframe.

• Simulated Low and High Reynolds Number Laminar Flows over the UAV to determine optimal airfoil parameters.

• Constructed the UAV with a balsa wood, carbon fiber rods, epoxy polypropylene, and monokote. Wright Design Competitions Aug 2011 to Oct 2011, Sep 2012 to Jan 2013, Oct 2013 to Jan 2014 SHAASTRA Technical Fest, Indian Institute of Technology – Madras, India

• Collaborated with three other students in the formulation of design, analysis, construction and flight testing of Unpowered Aerial Vehicles for the event WRIGHT DESIGN under the team name FOXTROT for three consecutive years.

• 2nd Runners-Up in 2011: Successfully tackled constraints over wingspan, weight, payload capacity, and flight controls.

• Best Design in 2013: Awarded Best Design for adapting a hollow fuselage housing for the propulsive water rocket.

• Winners in 2014: Outperformed all other participating teams during the flight testing and design presentation.
