Design Intern, Fluid Robotics, Pune, India Aug 2015- Jun 2016

• Led a team of four students for the design of in-pipe inspection robot mechanism with no human intervention.

• Developed various concepts and tested the prototypes using trial and error method. Achieved increased efficiency of the robot by 20% by implementing a screw-jack mechanism and reduced overall cost up to 40%.

Vice-Captain, National-Level ROBOCON competition, Pune, India Aug 2014- Mar 2016

• Led a team of 20 students to build a robot based on the theme called “Robo-Minton” and the other theme was based on the “Conservation of Energy”.

• Achieved the “BEST Rookie Award” in the first year of the competition. KEY PROJECTS

Analysis of Mountain Bike Frame Project, USF Aug 2018- Dec 2018

• Modeled on Solid works through a standard bike frame measurements and analysis of the bike frame such as stress analysis, nodal analysis, etc. on loads ranging from 60kg –100kg person, having as low as 0.003-0.011 mm deflection in the beam.

Design of 6-dof passive Robotic arm Project, USF Jan 2018- May 2018

• Led a team of three students to make a passive robotic arm with five revolute and one prismatic joint with each axis of rotation perpendicular to the preceding axis. Modeled on Solid works and simulated the motion of the robotic arm through programming on MATLAB.

• Achieved a smooth motion and sturdy design with no loose joint having a workspace of 1 m X 1.5 m. LEADERSHIP & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
