Projects:
Project : Microfluidic Device for blood plasma seperation
April – May 2012
The separation of red blood cell from plasma is based on blofluid distribution in the microchannels. The T-microchannel device can separate red blood cell from plasma but the separation efficiency varies largely among different bifurcations. Hence the microchannel design is optimized to obtain high blood separation efficiency.
Roles and Responsibilities
Extensively researched and collected the blood behavior and properties, blood-plasma interaction.
Designed a T-microchannel in ANSYS and studied the whole blood behavior in the channel during the flow
Optimized the microchannel design and dimensions for better blood plasma separation efficiency.
Environment: ANSYS CFD
Project : Total Hip Replacement design using Pro-Engineer
January – March 2012
The The Total hip replacement is used to replace the bone when hip is fractured, or arthritis. The complete model i.e., femoral stem, femoral head and acetabular cup was designed based on the design inputs. Then the model was analyzed and modified with the present designs for better quality and performance. The Finite element analysis (FEA) was done to analyze the design and studied the biomechanics behind the implant upon loads.
Roles and Responsibilities
Designed a layout for total hip replacement .
Modeled the femoral stem using the design input.
Analyzed and constructed the femoral neck for the best fit with femoral head.
Designed the femoral head and acetabular cup.
Assembled all parts and performed FEA test .
Environment: Pro-Engineer Wildfire 5.0, Pro-Mechanica
Project : Real time processing of Dysarthric speech signal using TMS320C6713 processor
September – May 2009
Dysarthria is motor speech disorder, characterized by poor articulation, which degrades speech quality and intelligibility. The goal of the project is to improve the normal dysarthric speech intelligibility by replacing the dysarthric vowel by signal processing. MATLAB ® Simulink is used as a platform to develop a model for dysarthric speech enhancement and embedded in TMS320C6713 processor for real time processing.
Roles and Responsibilities
Extensively interacted with speech pathology and patient, gathered the model requirements and made design documents.
Developed a algorithm for speech enhancement.
Designed the Matlab Simulink model based on the requiements and algorithm.
Deployed the model in TMS320C6713 processor.
Environment: Matlab, Simulink, Code Composer Studio
