TECHNICAL PROJECTS

Study of change in orientation of adventitial collagen in cerebral blood vessels during & post axial overstretch

(M.S. Thesis Project approved in May 2018)

(08/2015 – 08/2017)

Developed a protocol to carry out imaging of the biological tissue Followed a predefined protocol to carry out its mechanical testing Modified the lab tester for precise motion of the tissue Documented experimental details in an official lab notebook Analyzed the collected numerical data statistically (calculating mean & standard deviation, running t-tests to find p-values) Validated transportation protocol of the biological tissue Verified quality of the data by matching calculated collagen orientation with that reported in a literature

Formed a report mentioning procedures and findings FEA of an EOT crane hook to decide the best suitable cross-section & to optimize it (08/2015 – 12/2015) Calculated dimensions of the crane hook for desired load & modeled it with Pro-E

Used Hypermesh for preprocessing & Ansys for stress analysis & post processing of the 3D model

Verified the model with von-Mises stress & optimized for reduction in stress & volume

Design, Manufacturing, Calibration & Testing of Paper Puncture Resistance Tester (06/2012 – 06/2013)

Designed the tester in accordance with TAPPI standards Modeled it with Solidworks and drafted manufacturing drawings with Auto CAD specifying GD&T & BOM

Fabricated the tester in BILT (BGPPL) workshop

Calibrated & tested for accurate and repeatable readings ACHIEVEMENTS

Teaching Assistant (01/2016 – 05/2017)

Worked as a teaching assistant for Advanced Strength of Materials, Thermodynamics, Numerical Methods in Engineering and Statics Secured 3rd prize in 'All India Altair Optimization Contest 2012' conducted by Altair Engineering

Volunteer at the Art of Living foundation

(12/2011 – Present)

Organized around 20+ meditation courses involving around 500+ people. Learnt interpersonal & leadership skills through the tasks & also the ability to work in a fast paced environment.
