WORK EXPERIENCE

Syncroflo Inc., Atlanta, Georgia - Engineering Intern June 2014 -August 2014

Evaluated vendor offers for technical acceptance (Pressure transducers, Motor ratings, Enclosures).

I mplemented Solid Works to design water booster systems as per OSHA and NEMA standards to provide flexible solutions.

Submitted requests for vendor materi al quotations through SYSPRO.

Designed new systems for standardization to reduce production time by 25% & proposed new support system for piping issues.

Efficiently handled multiple projects from concept stage to finalized stage to create solid model parts, assemblies and BOMs.

Fleetguard Filters Private Limited, India - Project Trainee January 2013 -June 2013

Addressed the issue of FIP failure due to water entry with the application of Fuel Water Separator with Auto Drain Valve Controller.

Designed and validated a new system to improvise automatic water draining arrangement for removing separatedwater (emulsifiedwater)

from fuel system in diesel engines of TATA Motors cars and enhanced working efficiency by 10%.

I ncorporated a W ater in Fuel Sensor for filter and a Water in Fuel Control Unit for indication on dashboard of vehicle.

TATA Motors Pvt. Ltd, India - Project Trainee, Engineering Research Centre July 2011 -May 2012

Developed Storage Evaporator for passenger car HVAC by incorporating phase change material, evaluated and validated it for improved

i ndoor comfort at engine stop condition and better fuel consumption.

The project aimed at sizing of evaporator and testing i t at four important stages: component level test, vehicle level test, air flow

measurement test and fuel economy test. Achieved 5% reduction in fuel consumption a t Climate Control Department.

TATA Motors Pvt. Ltd, India - Project Intern, Engineering Research Centre June 2010 -August 2010

Evaluated suspension systems of leading models in market in company’s tear down department.

Calculated structural strength and implemented ANSYS a nalysis to determine diameter of Strut for TATA Nano.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

‘Fabrication of Hydraulic Scissor Lift Trolley’ Fall 2014

Automated the process of manufacturing with effective process plan implementing individual part fabrication,partflow&coordinationo f

operations, assembly sequence & implementation, machine quantity & layout and optimization of assembly time.

‘Design and Analysis of Multi-Nozzle Fused Deposition Modelling 3D Printer’ Spring 2014

Presented novel 3D printer, multi -material, multi -color, and multi -nozzle, implementing fused deposition modelingmethod.Incorporated

i nnovative rotating turret with 4 nozzles for multi -material feature and to produce high performance at low cost. I mplemented Creo to

design minute and intricate parts a nd to conduct finite element analysis on critical components.

‘De sign of car Badge Alignment fixture using Additive Manufacturing’ Spring 2014

I mplemented ProE to design badge alignment fixture in plastic with c ustomizable holder for different badges usingadditivemanufacturing

process. Reduced need for various fixtures and further reduced waiting period for fabricating new fixture for each badge. Developed a

r ecyclable printer and a cost and time effective tec hnique.

‘Gesture Based 3D Transformations Using Leap Motion’ Spring 2014
