WORK EXPERIENCE
RESEARCH ASSISTANT
Wichita State University, Wichita, KS - May 2015-May 2016
Designed and analyzed the air craft component structures assembly using CATIA v5 r22.
Manufactured Composite Prepegs and used Superhydrophobic Coatings for the composite Materials like Kevlar, Carbon and Glass and have done Moisture Ingression tests on the Fibre reinforced laminated composites.
Uniformly apply wet primers, paints, and wet or dry coatings to parts and components and other items using care to avoid over spraying/coating and to obtain a smooth, covered and even surface free form runs and thin spots. Repeat operations as necessary to obtain desired effect or thickness of media.
Visually and mechanically check coated composites for pin holes, runs, bare spots, proper coverage.
Testing the Moisture absorption for the composite samples which are used in aircrafts.
Studied and analyzed the moisture absorption in aircraft structures by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV Tests, Contact Angles, Scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Reviewed results of the composite fibers to calculate moisture absorption and contact angles of the fibers to meet the standards of aircraft industries.

DESIGN ENGINEER
Cad zone solutions India private Ltd, India. July 2012-June 2014
Designed & drafted for a Gen set Canopies and concrete mixing truck with self-loading using CATIA v5 and AutoCAD for better cooling and driving compatibility.
Assessed engineering parameters for the air cooled engine stress and analysis
Evaluated various designs and structural parameters for a truck, modifying the available CAD designs and analyzed different stress occurring during a truck using ANSYS v12

MECHANICAL ENGINEER INTERN:
The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), Khammam, India. December-2011 to April 2012
Modification of Mechanical Hoist Control Valve using Hydraulic Circuit in Dumper using CATIA V5 r22.
Designed air cylinders by giving tolerances and dimensioning to the system by using CATIA and analysis is done for the cylinders by using ANSYS and modifying the Mechanical hoist control valve in to Electrical control valve & this is done with the help of a solenoid block and additional air cylinder.
The air cylinders are placed at the top of hydraulic reservoir. Due to the modification of the hoist control valve in to electrical control valve it is seen that the wear and tear of hoist cylinder decreases thereby increasing the component life and also the maintenance cost decreases.
