ENGINEERING EXPERIENCES

South Central Railways, India summer 12

Rail Road Maintenance Intern

Examined the procedures that Indian Railways follow in order to maintain its rail roads

Collaborated with other engineering, quality, and manufacturing personnel to determine pertinent quality concerns and inquired about possible upgrades with machinery that they use for maintaining rail road

A detailed report was made which includes all the machinery and procedure that are used by the rail company

Binghamton University, Binghamton, NY spring 14- present Research Assistant

Conducted research on prosthetic foot design that can be manufactured using 3D-Printing technology

Developed a prosthetic foot by using CREO 2.0, followed by an optimization study to achieve its peak performance

Finite Element Analysis was performed using ANSYS 15 to check for its failure followed by a fatigue analysis

The designed prosthetic foot is manufactured using Additive manufacturing techniques to test it in the real world

Sonic Blocks Inc., Binghamton, NY winter 14-present

Design Engineer Intern

Served as an integral member of the team in developing a new consumer electronic speaker system

Worked with a group of eight students and successfully guided the CAD team members in developing components and assemblies of the new product

Prototypes were manufactured using 3D-Printing technology. Stratasys uPrint SE Plus and MakerBot 2X replicator were used for 3D-printing.

PROJECTS:

Design and analysis of landing gear mechanism for fighter aircrafts fall 14

Designed a landing gear mechanism using four-bar mechanism that can deploy and retract into fuselage in less time

Creo 2.0 was used as a design tool and Finite Element Analysis was performed using Creo 2.0 simulate and ANSYS 15

The results obtained from simulations were validated manually to check for errors

Design and analysis of a powered pallet lifter fall 14

Designed a portable and low cost pallet lifter as per NEMA standards, maximum lift is 220lbs up to 25in from ground

A dynamic analysis was performed to check for failures during the normal operational condition

Creo 2.0 was used for modeling and dynamic analysis, Ansys 15 was used to run Finite Element Analysis

Evaluating the mechanical properties of 3DPrinted materials by varying their print configurations summer 14

Printed 150 3D printed specimens with various infill percentages and possible print orientations using ABS plastic

Performed tensile/fatigue tests on Instron 5500 and MTS universal testing machine to find their mechanical properties

A finite element model was developed using Ansys 15 to simulate the test conditions with different parameters

Design and fabrication of powered exoskeleton fall-spring 13

Designed an exoskeleton suit that enables the user to lift up to 60lbs without much effort

Modeling and analysis was done using PTC Pro-E wildfire 4.0

Two DC linear actuators connected to a microprocessor were used which takes inputs from several EMG sensors

Fabricated the components and assembled them to evaluate its performance

Design and fabrication of automated wheel chair for National Instrument national competitions spring 12

Designed the chassis for the wheel chair using Pro-E 4.0 followed by finite element analysis using ANSYS 14

Automation was achieved using NI sbRIO microprocessor and two DC motors were used to displace 250lbs

Successfully fabricated the components and assembled them to obtain a fully operational automated wheel chair

Design and fabrication of 4-Degree of freedom robotic arm manipulator fall 11

Designed a 4-DOF manipulator using inverse kinematics and wrote NC codes for achieving various movements.

Built the manipulator using fiber glass for arms and servo motors as actuators controlled by Arduino microcontroller

Design and fabrication of 6-legged mechanical Hexapod spring-Fall 10

Designed a fully functional 6-legged robot that can carry 20lbs load and walk on any terrain using Pro-E 4.0

Fabricated the parts from scrap using Mild Steel and assembled the machine to walk in the real world

Design and fabrication of 4-legged mechanism using Theo Jansen Mechanism summer 10

Analyzed the Jansen's linkage and designed a smooth walking gait according to my requirement by using Pro-E 4.0

Created a prototype from fiber glass and used one 12 V DC motor with a reduction gear unit for actuation.
