WORK EXPERIENCE

Altair Engineering

Troy, Michigan

Student Intern

May

2015 – August 2015

• Provided support to customers and assisted in Training Activities in the

Office

• Assisted in the demonstration of a product named “Evolve” based on Hybrid

Modeling, to GM Engineers at Warren

• General Motors Tim Bracket Project: Executed an optimization project on

an existing bracket design to realize weight reduction using “Inspire”

• Aircraft Modeling and 3D Printing: Conceptualized an aircraft design

using “Evolve” and developed the components using rapid prototyping.

• General Motors Wheel Rim Design: Collaborated with a CAE Engineer to

develop new concept for rim design to optimize for weight

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

Mumbai, India

Senior Research Fellow August 2013- August 2014

Project: “Thermo-Mechanical failure analysis of the calandria tubes under

severe accident conditions” sponsored by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board

of India

• Proposed a constitutive model based on the assumption of Finite Strain

Theory. The formulation composed of elastic, inelastic creep, plastic and

thermal expansion components

• Implemented the proposed material model in ABAQUS using the User defined

subroutine (UMAT) in FORTRAN

• Verified the Finite Element Implementation by computing the creep

response on a 2D and 3D internally pressurized Zr Pressure Tube model with

varying temperature

• Proposed energy based failure criterion and executed a detailed study on

the elastic-plastic-creep response of a homogeneous isotropic Zr-Tube

subject to internal pressure and thermal loading on a full scaled 3D finite

element model in ABAQUS

Mahindra Aerospace Private Limited

Bangalore, India

Structural Analyst Intern

September 2012 -

March 2013

• GA-8 Project (An 8-seater utility aircraft): Computed shear flow

distribution on the aircraft floor panels with a cutout to attach a

surveillance camera. Executed FEM analysis of the airframe using HyperMesh

for Pre/Post processing and NASTRAN for solving

• GA-10 Project (A 10-seater utility aircraft): Performed strength of

material analysis on skin panels of the horizontal stabilizer and

structural joints (lugs and pin joints) to determine failure limits

• Provided technical support to GippsAero (Mahindra Aerospace's subsidiary

in Australia) by running finite element simulations on NASTRAN

Technical Skills: HyperWorks, Optistruct, Inspire, Evolve Patran®,

Nastran®, ANSYS®, FLUENT®, ABAQUS®, MATLAB®& Simulink, FORTRAN®, C++, JAVA,

SOLIDWORKS®, Python, Microsoft Office

PROJECTS

• Truss Topology Optimization with Discrete Design Variable: Optimizing the

topology of a truss structure based on finite element and branch and bound

algorithm to minimize compliance with discrete cross-sectional area

• Finite Element Code Development with C++: Using the deal.II library to

solve elasticity, heat-transfer problems

• Jet Civil Transport Aircraft Design: Developed an understanding of the

design process by which new jet civil transport aircraft are produced and

the technical, commercial, legal and environmental constraints that affect

design decisions for a 32-seater civil jet aircraft subject to range and

payload as primary constraints

• Internal Mechanisms for Morphing Wings: Developed, manufactured and

tested a prototype capable of changing between two airfoil (NACA 0012 and

NACA 0036) profiles using internal scissor like mechanism

• Preliminary Design Review of a Remote Sensing Satellite System: Executed

a conceptual group design project leading up to a systems requirements

review and a preliminary design review of a remote sensing low-earth orbit

satellite

• Design, Build and Test of Water Rocket: Designed a water-propelled rocket

and a parachute deployment system to support the payload of an egg safe
