ACADEMIC PROJECTS

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Boston, MA Jun 2013

3D design challenge

• Designed a butterfly valve with functioning worm-wheel mechanism in SolidWorks.

• Prepared assembly drawings and Bill Of Materials (BOM).

• Performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine failure threshold of different

components.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Boston, MA Sept 2013-Dec 2013

Controlling gantry system and self-erecting pendulum

• Implemented and compared Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) and robust

adaptive control on a gantry system. Optimized the system to achieve desired linear

cart displacement and angular position of pendulum.

• Developed optimal control for self-erecting inverted pendulum.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Boston, MA Jan 2013-Apr 2013

Mechanical/thermal stress analysis

• Performed mechanical stress analysis on a plate due to the effect of a hole.

• Performed thermal stress analysis on a composite assembly due to the flow of gas

inside the assembly and the convection cooling outside the assembly.

• Performed mechanical stress analysis on an arc due to external force.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

ADM ASSOCIATES, INC. Sacramento, CA Oct 2008 - Sept 2009

Data Analyst

• Developed simulations as part of a Commercial and Industrial Evaluation.

• Modeled HVAC systems, lighting systems, and building envelopes for detailed energy

use analyses using DOE -2.

• Evaluated load shapes by incorporating site-specific thermal characteristics, equipment,

and occupancy schedules while accounting for weather patterns and seasonality of

production.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

WHITTIER COLLEGE Whittier, CA Jun 2007-Feb 2008

Zorba, S., Farah, C., Pant, R. (2010). Measuring the Dispersion Curve of a PMMA Fiber

Optics Cable Using a Dye Laser. European Journal Of Physics, 31, 1369.

• Conducted experiments with Nitrogen-Gas dye laser to map out the chromatic

dispersion curve of a PMMA optical fiber.

• Designed the proper impedance matching circuitry to prevent any mismatch

impedances between the photo detector, the cable line, and the oscilloscope.

WHITTIER COLLEGE Whittier, CA Sept 2007-May 2008

Teaching assistant

• Prepared and conducted laboratory session and review session of course materials for

Optics and Introduction to Physics.
